Best 3 Grilled Lobster With Smoky Garlic Mojo Recipes

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH SMOKY GARLIC MOJO

Steps:

• For the mojo, add the garlic to the food processor, and run the processor until the garlic is finely minced. Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil. Add the chopped garlic and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Season the mojo with salt and add the lime juice.Split the chile peppers lengthwise and scrape out and discard the seeds. Chop the peppers and add to the simmering mojo. Continue to cook for a few additional minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• For the lobster, heat a gas grill on medium-high or light a charcoal grill, and let the fire burn down until the coals are covered in a gray ash.Brush a generous amount of the mojo on the flesh-side of each lobster half and season with salt. Lay the lobster tails flesh-side down on the grill. When the lobster has browned a little and can be easily dislodged from the grill, flip them over and cook shell-side down until the meat is done, about another 2 or 3 minutes.
• Transfer the tails to a serving platter, shell side down, and sprinkle with finishing salt. Spoon some of the warm mojo on top, then spoon Lazy Salsa Huevona around the lobster; garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.

GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
• Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
• Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH GINGER, GARLIC, AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan over low heat until garlic and ginger begin to brown, about 8 minutes. Set aside. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Drop 1 lobster headfirst into large pot of boiling water. Cover; cook 3 minutes (lobster will not be fully cooked). Using tongs, transfer lobster to baking sheet. Return water to boil. Repeat with remaining lobsters.
• Transfer 1 lobster, shell side down, to work surface. Place tip of large knife in center of lobster. Cut lobster lengthwise in half from center to end of head (knife might not cut through shell), then cut in half from center to end of tail. Use poultry shears to cut through shell if necessary. Repeat with remaining lobsters.
• Place lobster halves, meat side up, on barbecue. Brush meat with some basting sauce; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover barbecue; grill lobsters until just opaque in thickest portion of tail, about 9 minutes. Remove from barbecue; arrange lobsters on platter. Brush with more sauce and sprinkle with green onions. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
