2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup mild extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon melted butter
4 live lobsters (2 pounds each)
Coarse (kosher) salt
1. Set broiler rack at least 6 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.
Broiling concentrates lobsters natural sweet flavor, and butter
compliments its richness. If you cant bring yourself to split a live
lobster, have the fishmonger do it for you.
