Lobster

Butter, a cracked shell, and no dignity left at the table.

That was somebody else’s answer. Yours takes about twenty seconds: a handful of either-ors, then one dish.

How to make lobster

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Grilled, with garlic butter

30 minutes · serves 2 · Easier than it looks

What you need

  • 2 lobsters, about 500g each
  • 100g butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Small handful of parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper

What you do

  1. 1Put the lobsters in the freezer for 20 minutes first — it sedates them, and it is the kind thing to do.
  2. 2Lay one flat and split it lengthways through the head in one firm movement. Clean out the dark tract and the sac behind the eyes.
  3. 3Mash the butter with the garlic, parsley, lemon zest and plenty of pepper, and work it into the split flesh.
  4. 4Grill shell-side down, high and close, 8 to 10 minutes, until the flesh turns opaque and the butter is bubbling. Do not turn them over.
  5. 5Lemon squeezed over at the table. Serve with bread for the butter in the shell, which is the best part of it.
