Citrus Lobster

My girls love lobster. When we went to the store and saw these beauties there was no coming home without them. It was such a beautiful summer day that grilling seemed the way to go.

I love the combination lobster, citrus, and butter. This is a very simple recipe which doesn't really have a recipe.

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Drop the lobsters into the boiling water for a few minutes, to blanch them. Remove the lobsters and plunge into cold water for a few minutes. Cut the lobsters in half.

Take 1 Tsp. of zest from a lime, lemon, and orange (total 3 Tsp.) and mix with 1 Tbsp. of butter. Multiply this mixture by the number of lobsters that you have. Put 1 Tbsp. of the mixture on the inside of each half of the lobster.

Place the lobsters shell side down on medium hot grill. Close the lid and cook for about 15 minutes. Check for doneness. The lobster should be just translucent.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Squeeze of lemon and freshly chopped chives. Of course you can always add more of the citrus butter on top. Enjoy.
