GRILLED LOBSTER SMOTHERED IN BASIL BUTTER
Steps:
- Combine the butter, basil, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pack the mixture into a medium ramekin, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Split the lobsters in half lengthwise. Bring the knife down through the tail, making sure to cut just through the meat and to leave the shell connected. Lay the lobster open, leaving the two halves slightly attached. Pull off claws and legs from the lobsters and crack them slightly with the knife handle. Place the claws and legs on the grill over medium-low heat and cover with a pie pan. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes per side. Brush the lobster bodies with the oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place them fleshside down on the grill over medium heat. Grill 8 to 10 minutes
- Remove the lobsters and slather with the basil butter.

Steps:
- Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
- Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
- Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.

- Arrange tails on grill, cut sides up, and brush with basting sauce. Grill tails, covered, basting occasionally, 6 minutes, or until meat is opaque.Serve lobster with dipping sauce and lime halves.
GRILLED LOBSTER WITH LIME BROWN BUTTER
Lobster is one of my favourite foods. From time to time I do have a "Lobster Attack", and will not be happy until that craving is satiated. I make no apology for that decadence; the Canadian maritimes serves up the finest lobsters worldwide. It is one of the beautiful things we have in common with Maine, USA. (along with potatoes) This recipe is by no means an original and I give full marks to Christine Cushing of the Food Network. I also thank Saturn for the alert, and the link to the Christine Cushing of the Food Network. Grilling is great option for entertaining - you can boil the lobsters ahead of time and just finish for a few minutes on the grill. For a variation on the brown butter, you could use lemon instead of the lime and parsley for the coriander.
