Ingredients:
4 (1 1/2-pound) spiny lobsters |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
4 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic |
4 ounces chopped fresh herbs of your choice (we like to use italian parsley, basil, thyme, tarragon and a bit of rosemary) |
kosher salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
1 stick (1/4-pound) butter, cut in 8 pieces |
1 cup clarified butter |
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
8 lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Preheat the grill to high.
2. Split lobsters; butterfly from the top and remove intestines. Rinse head area in cold water to remove any waste matter.
3. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, and all of the garlic and chopped herbs. Set aside.
4. Brush lobsters lightly with remaining oil and grill for approximately 5 minutes, meaty side down. Turn halfway through for grill marking and even cooking. Remove lobsters from grill, and place on a sheet pan, meaty side up. Coat with the herb and garlic mixture and season with salt and pepper. Place 2 pieces of butter on each lobster tail and put in the oven for approximately 10 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix the clarified butter mixed with the lemon juice. Drizzle over lobster as a sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges.
