Ingredients

• 4 whole lobsters (1.5 pounds each) lobster
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 large, minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, juiced lemon
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lobsters and parboil for 5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Once cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully split the lobsters lengthwise, all the way down to the tail.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Brush the lobster meat lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.

Step 6

Place the lobster halves, shell side down, on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Generously brush the lobster meat with the garlic herb butter. Continue grilling for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through, basting with butter occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the lobsters from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Serve immediately with any remaining garlic herb butter for dipping.
