Grilled Lobster With Garlic Parsley Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Combine butter, parsley, chile flakes, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside. Using a cleaver or large chef's knife, split lobster in half lengthwise through its head and tail. Scoop out and discard the yellow-green tomalley and break off claws. Transfer lobster halves, shell side down, to a baking sheet; crack claws and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle halves and claws with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a charcoal grill or set a gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side. Place lobster halves, flesh side down, and claws on hottest part of grill; cook until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip lobster over and using a spoon, spread lobster with the garlic-parsley butter; continue grilling until lobster meat is tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with a large shallow baking pan in upper third.
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with butter and parsley.
• Plunge lobsters headfirst into a large pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) and cook, covered, 3 minutes from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a plate and let stand 5 minutes. (Lobsters will not be fully cooked.)
• Lightly crack claws, then split lobsters lengthwise and discard innards from body cavity.
• Remove tail meat from 1 lobster and cut crosswise into 8 pieces. Spread about 2 tablespoons garlic butter in one empty half shell, then fill that shell with all of sliced lobster and dot with 1 tablespoon garlic butter. Spoon about 5 tablespoons garlic butter into other empty half shell (for dipping). Repeat with remaining lobster.

Steps:

• Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
• Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
• Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut lobster tails lengthwise with poultry shears. Cut open claws to allow sauce to reach the meat.
• Combine butter, lemon juice, onion, parsley, garlic, tarragon, and hot sauce in a bowl. Slather meat with sauce and place face-down on the preheated grill.
• Cook until lobster begins to char, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until meat is opaque and firm, 5 to 6 minutes more.

Steps:

• Kill lobsters by plunging them headfirst into salted boiling water and cooking for 1 minute. Remove, and drain.
• Place lobsters on a medium-hot grill. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid burning the shells.
• Crack a claw to see if it is fully cooked (the meat should be opaque). If not, detach claws, and return to grill for a few minutes more. Using kitchen scissors, split lobsters lengthwise by cutting along underside of tail, leaving back of shell intact. Scrape out red coral, if any, and green tomalley, and combine with melted butter for a dipping sauce, if desired. Keep lobsters warm on a platter covered with foil until ready to serve. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with melted butter, if desired.

Steps:

• Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
• Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
• Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.
