Grilled Lobster

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:12:24 +0000

Split a cooked lobster in half lengthwise. Crack the claws. Remove and discard the vein running down the tail and the small sac located behind the eyes. Brush the lobster with melted butter or basting sauce to keep the meat moist and tender. Place directly on the grill, shell side down, for 2-3 minutes, or just until the lobster is heated throught. Be careful not to overcook. Overcooking will make the meat hard and rubbery.A general rule of thumb: When the antennae pull out easily, the lobsters are done. The most humane way to cook lobster is to sedate them first by putting them in the freezer for a few minutes prior to putting them in the boiling water.

Steamed Lobster

Put about 2 inches of sea water or salted fresh water in the bottom of a large pot. Bring the salted water to a rolling boil. Grasp the lobsters just behind the claws, and put them in the pot, one at a time. Return the water to a boil. Then start timing. Allow 18 minutes for 1 to 1¼ lb lobsters and 20 minutes for 1½ to 2 lb lobsters. Lobsters will turn their characteristic bright red color well before the meat is thoroughly cooked inside. A general rule of thumb: When the antennae pull out easily, the lobsters are done. The most humane way to cook lobster is to sedate them first by putting them in the freezer for a few minutes prior to putting them in the boiling water.
