Grilled Lobster in the Oven: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 live lobsters (around 1-1.5 pounds each)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
2. Kill the lobsters humanely. You can either place them in your freezer for about 30 minutes before cooking, or put them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they no longer move.
3. Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise, and remove the digestive tract and the tomalley (green substance).
4. Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
5. Brush the lobster flesh with the herb and butter mixture, making sure to cover all the meat.
6. Arrange the lobster halves on a baking tray, and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the lobster meat turns opaque and the edges start to caramelize.
7. Remove from the oven, and serve immediately with additional lemon wedges and butter on the side if desired.

Verdict:

This grilled lobster in the oven recipe is a luxurious dish that’s perfect for special occasions or dinner parties. The herbed butter sauce gives the lobster a rich and savory flavor that compliments the sweet and succulent meat perfectly. The crispy caramelized edges add a delightful crunch and texture to the dish. Serve it with some crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a glass of champagne for a complete gourmet experience.

Enjoy!
