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.
Tips:
- Select the freshest lobster possible. Fresh lobster meat is firm and has a briny, sweet flavor. Avoid lobster that is limp or has a slimy texture.
- Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and cooked through. Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy. The best way to tell if lobster is cooked is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tail. The lobster is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the garlic sauce. Some good options include parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the lobster in garlic sauce with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Lobster in garlic sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your lobster is cooked perfectly and that the sauce is flavorful and delicious. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends or family, give lobster in garlic sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
