Barbecue Lobster Recipes are very easy variations on a theme so I’ve got some to share with you free of charge!
We can use live lobster or crayfish or frozen lobster tails if you’re not comfortable with killing a live animal. For those who want to know how to
kill a live lobster humanely click here.
OK so what’s the variation on the theme? Well it the butter that we use to finish of the cooking and there’s so many options.
Try adding any of these options to your butter:-
• Garlic
• A pinch of Paprika or Cayenne Pepper
• Lemon juice and a little of the zest (and an optional red chili!)
Work on about 50g / 2oz of your butter mix per person.
Now to barbecue lobster!
We’ll need approximately 450g or 1lb of lobster per person and if you can get it so that each person gets one whole tail then all the better.
Place the lobster on a heavy board belly side down and cut it in half lengthways. Discard the whitish sac and the feathery gills from the head, then do the same with the long dark intestinal vein running the length of the tail.
Crack the claws with a mallot.
Brush the flesh side of your lobster halves with the butter of you choice and place them on the BBQ grill flesh side down for 2-3 minutes. Then turn over and grill for another five minutes until the shell has turned red brushing again with the butter of your choice.
Season with salt and pepper and serve with a wedge of lemon (and a glass of white wine of course). Fantastic!
