Grilled Lobster with Chili Butter

Prep Time: 30 min. Cook Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

3 lb live lobsters
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 oz unsalted butter
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup(s) Fresno chili peppers, finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp lemon, juiced

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil (pot must be large enough to hold two 1.5 lb. lobsters).

Preheat grill to medium-high (350ºF - 400ºF).

Place live lobsters in freezer 10 minutes before cooking them.

Plunge lobsters in boiling water, cover and cook 5 minutes. Immediately remove to an ice bath for 2 minutes. Split cooled lobsters in half.

Drizzle with olive oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Grill, shell side down, about 5 - 7 minutes or until meat is fully opaque and juices are bubbling.

Meanwhile, melt 1 stick (4 oz.) butter in a small saucepan until bubbly.

Add garlic and chili peppers. Stir-fry until peppers are just soft and garlic is translucent. Whisk in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

When lobsters are fully cooked, drizzle about 2 tablespoons chili butter over each lobster tail and remove from heat to rest.

Crack claws and remove lobster meat to serve with a side of the melted chili butter.
