Grilled Lobster with Garlic Lemon Butter:
Ingredients:
- 2 fresh lobsters
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
- 2 metal or wooden skewers
Grilled Lobster Instructions:
- Prepare the grill for medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, chopped garlic, and lemon juice.
- Cut the lobsters in half, from head to tail. Remove the entrails.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the lobster meat on top of the shell diagonally, without cutting all the way through the shell. This will help the meat cook evenly.
- Place the lobsters on the grill, meat side down. Brush generously with the butter, garlic, and lemon mixture.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 4-6 minutes. Flip the lobsters, brush again with the butter mixture, and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes. Make sure the meat is completely cooked and opaque.
- Remove the lobsters from the grill and place them on a foil-lined tray.
- Cover the lobsters with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Don’t forget about the drinks! A good bottle of dry white wine will perfectly complement the lobster. A Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, a champagne cocktail or an apple martini is a classy and delicious option.
There you have it! A romantic and impressive dinner that isn’t difficult to prepare. Lobster is a luxurious option that is sure to impress your partner. So fire up the grill and get ready for a delicious and unforgettable evening.
