¼ cup olive oil
2 tbs parsley (chopped)
2 tbs. butter
1tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
3 ea. lemon slices

___________________________

Directions

Place the oil, butter, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Using a hand blender blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy creating a seasoned oil and set side.

If using a live lobster, ensure it’s been properly killed and split in half. You can also purchase pre-split lobsters from one of our seafood departments.

Place paper towel over the claws and knuckles and using the back end of a knife crack both claws and both knuckles.

Set your grill to medium heat, not too hot, as you want to avoid burning the shell.

Place the lobster halves on the grill, meat-side up. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.

The meat should be firm and opaque. You can also use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F

Remove from the grill and drizzle with the seasoned oil and garnish with sliced lemons before serving.
