Broiled Lobster With Garlic Oil Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 | Garlic cloves - finely chopped | |
| 1/4 cup | 59ml | Mild extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Melted butter |
| 4 | Live lobsters - (2 lbs ea) | |
| Coarse (kosher) salt - to taste |
Set broiler rack at least 6 inches from the flame, and heat the broiler. Mix together garlic, olive oil and melted butter, and keep warm.
Using a large, sharp chefs knife or a Chinese cleaver, hold the lobsters down firmly to a cutting board, and split them in half from head to end. Gently crack the claws by striking them with a meat mallet, small hammer or the spine of the knife. Scoop out the viscera behind the mouth parts, and remove the green roe sacs. Transfer, cut-side up, to broiling pans.
Brush the lobsters liberally with the butter mixture, and season with a small pinch of coarse salt.
Broil four minutes; baste with butter mixture, then finish broiling 3 minutes more. Serve one lobster per person.
