Directions:
- Bring a large kettle (at least 8-quart capacity) three fourths full of water to a boil for lobsters.
- In a blender blend zest, orange juice, vinegar, chipotles in adobo, salt, and sugar until chipotles are chopped fine.
- With motor running add oil in a slow stream.
- Vinaigrette may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- Bring vinaigrette to room temperature before serving.
- In boiling water partially cook lobsters, 2 at a time, over high heat 3 minutes and transfer with tongs to a colander to drain and cool. (Make sure water returns to a full boil before adding each batch of lobsters.).
- When lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove tails and claws and discard bodies.
- With kitchen shears halve tails (including shells) lengthwise, cutting off swimmerets on underside of tails if desired.
- Lobsters may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Prepare grill.
- Grill claws, in batches if necessary, on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning occasionally, until liquid bubbles at open end, 5 to 7 minutes, and transfer to a platter.
- Stir basil leaves into vinaigrette and reserve 1 1/4 cup in a small pitcher.
- Brush meat in lobster tails with some vinaigrette.
- Grill tails, meat side down, in batches if necessary, 3 minutes.
- Turn tails meat side up, brushing with more vinaigrette, and grill until juices are bubbling and meat is plump and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer tails to platter.
- Lobster may be grilled 2 hours ahead and cooled, uncovered, before chilling, covered.
- Serve lobster warm or chilled with reserved vinaigrette and garnish with basil sprigs.
