Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Salt
ground black pepper
4 live lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each
Lemon wedges or melted butter, or both

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Using tongs, put lobsters in pot, one by one. Cover pot. Cook just until bright red, about 2 minutes each (longer if lobsters weigh more). Remove lobsters from pot with tongs; plunge into a bowl, sink or bucket of ice water; then continue cooking, or refrigerate for up to a day.
  • Prepare grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Cut lobsters in half along back, then grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, starting with cut side up, sprinkling with salt and pepper before turning. Lobster is done when meat is firm and opaque. Serve with lemon wedges or melted butter, or both.
