Time 35m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 habanero chile (seeded and deviened)
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup sour orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon whole coriander seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 (1 1/4 pound) lobster
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Blend the first 6 ingredients in a blender until smooth and set aside.
  • In a cast iron skillet, toast the peppercorns, cumin, fennel seed, coriander seed, and mustard seed. When the spices begin to smoke, remove, and grind in a coffee mill. When pulverized, add to the pureed habanero mixture.
  • Preheat a grill on medium high heat.
  • Split the lobster in half, remove the roe if necessary, and then spread the spice, or recado, mixture over the tail portion of each side of lobster.
  • Place lobster halves on a hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Remove and serve with lemon wedges.
