Ingredients
1 large lobster, halved
1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
Herb butter
Method
-
Using the blunt edge of a knife, crack the lobster claws and knuckles in two places on one side but take care to avoid crushing the meat
-
Brush the shell and un-cracked side of the claws and knuckles with olive oil
- Place lobster, cracked side up, on a plate and brush with herb butter
-
Place the lobster, cracked side up, on the barbecue and cover with foil. Grill for 15 minutes, brushing occasionally with more herb butter
- Using tongs check the lobster is done by pulling up the tail and checking the underside; it should be firm and dark orange
-
Return the lobster to the grill if required but do not overcook as it will become very tough
-
Once cooked, brush the tail with more herb butter and garnish with lemon wedges
