Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 (1 1/2 pound) live lobsters
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 skewers, soaked in cold water
Green Curry-Mango Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
4 ounces black caviar, optional
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup canola oil
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
2 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Drain the lobsters and put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain the lobsters well, remove the tail from the lobster, and carefully remove the tail meat from the shell.
  • Skewer each tail onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Brush the tails with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred.
  • Place the lobster skewers on a platter and drizzle with some of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. Top with dollops of caviar, if desired. Serve the remaining sauce in small bowls for individual dipping.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and serrano chile and cook for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add mangoes and water, stir well, and cook until the mango is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender (see *Cook's Note below). Add the lime juice, cilantro, and honey and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I was a bit skeptical about the green curry mango dipping sauce, but it was surprisingly delicious. It paired perfectly with the grilled lobster tails. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This was my first time grilling lobster tails and I was nervous, but the recipe made it easy. The lobster tails were cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce was delicious. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lobster tails turned out a bit overcooked. I think next time I will reduce the cooking time by a few minutes. Overall, this dish was still very good and I would recommend it to others.
