- Prepare Lobster:
- If using lobster tails, split them in half lengthwise using kitchen shears. If using whole lobsters, split them in half by cutting down the center.
- Preheat Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush with Oil or Butter:
- Brush the lobster meat with olive oil or melted butter. This adds flavor and helps prevent sticking to the grill.
- Season:
- Season the lobster with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill:
- Place the lobster on the preheated grill with the meat side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the lobster, until the meat is opaque and slightly charred.
- Flip and Finish:
- Carefully flip the lobster and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes with the shell side down. The shell should become bright red, and the meat should be fully cooked but still tender.
- Garnish:
- Remove the lobster from the grill and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve:
- Serve the grilled lobster immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the meat.
Enjoy your grilled lobster with its natural sweetness enhanced by the smoky flavors from the grill. Grilled lobster pairs well with various side dishes like grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a side of buttery potatoes.
