Many of us have had boiled or steamed lobster, but did you know that it’s just as quick and easy to grill a lobster? Grilled lobster has incredible flavor that’s perfect for a light summer meal. We use just a bit of butter and fresh lemon juice on our lobster, then serve it with boiled or roasted new potatoes and a glass of Chardonnay. (Our favorites right now include Edna Valley Chardonnay, Caves De Lugny Unoaked Chardonnay and Stag’s Leap Karia Chardonnay.)
The only daunting thing about this particular preparation is cutting the live lobsters in half lengthwise. If you are not comfortable doing this, our full-service seafood counter would be happy to cut it for you at the store before you head home to cook it for dinner – just ask!
