Grilled Lobster with Lobster Bisque Butter Sauce

Grilling the lobster adds smoky depth to the sweet lobster meat, and topping off with the lobster bisque butter is a show stopper.

Ingredients
 

  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 4 spoonfuls of roasted tomato sauce from a can of roasted tomatoes
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 5 sprigs thyme - leaves only
  • handful of parsley leaves
  • 1/2 shallot - chopped, 1/4 white onion can replace
  • 2 garlic cloves - minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1/2 lemon - juiced
  • 4 1 1/4 lb lobsters

Instructions
 

Lobster Bisque Butter Sauce

  • Melt butter over low heat in saute pan
  • Add shallot and garlic, cook for 3 minutes
  • Add all of the ingredients to pan except lemon juice
  • Let simmer for 10 min, or until cherry tomatoes are ready to burst
  • Turn off heat and combine all ingredients in blender and blend until blended together, including the lemon juice

Grilling Lobster

  • Heat grill
  • While the grill heats up, prep the lobster by cutting each lobster in half
  • Place the tip of the knife about 1/3 of the way down the body behind the head and then force the knife through cutting through the head.
  • Turn the lobster around and split the rest of the body down to the tail.
  • Remove the green or yellow guts and place on a baking sheet with the shell down / meat up.
  • Season the meat with salt.
  • Top each half with a liberal amount of the lobster bisque butter, but save some on the side for dipping the claw meat.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the lobsters on and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • The shells will turn bright red once cooked.
