Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 dash hot sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 ounce) lobster tails
4 (10 inch) skewers
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
kosher salt to taste
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

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.

GRILLED LOBSTER

If you're not squeamish, the lobsters can also be killed by inserting the point of a sharp knife through the cross mark on their backs.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 live lobsters, 1 to 2 pounds each
Unsalted butter, melted (optional)
Lemon wedges

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lobster: Select live lobsters that are heavy for their size, with a hard shell and no missing claws or legs.
  • Prepare the lobster properly: Before cooking, kill the lobster humanely by inserting a sharp knife into its head just behind the eyes.
  • Cook the lobster evenly: To ensure even cooking, place the lobster on a grill grate that is hot but not too hot. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the lobster is cooked through.
  • Make sure the garlic mojo is smoky: To achieve a smoky flavor in the garlic mojo, roast the garlic cloves over an open flame or under a broiler until they are charred.
  • Serve the lobster immediately: Grilled lobster is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve with melted butter, lemon wedges, and the smoky garlic mojo.

Conclusion:

Grilled lobster with smoky garlic mojo is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lobster is cooked perfectly and that the garlic mojo is packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that will wow your guests, give this recipe a try.
