Grilled Lobster
Ingredients
- 1 2½- to 3-pound lobster
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for dipping
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped tarragon
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the lime juice, melted butter, tarragon, capers, and pepper, and set aside. Prepare the lobster for grilling or baking (see sidebar). Place the lobster on a baking sheet and generously brush the inside with the lime butter mixture. Starting at the tail, insert a wooden skewer through the lobster. This will prevent the tail from curling on the grill. On the grill heated to medium-high, place the lobster on its back shell. Close the lid. Cook for 25 minutes, rotating occasionally for even cooking.
