Grilled Jumbo lobster

[VickiQ]

Last night Jimmy(dh) grilled 2-6lb lobsters and I have to say it was the best lobster I have ever had!He split the lobsters in half and removed the claws. He preheated the grill on high then turned it down to low.The claws were put on first for about 5 minutes.He then put the lobsters on the grill shell side down and basted them with butter every 10 minutes or so when he turned the claws.The total cooking time was approximately 45 minutes.He also had corn in the husks cooking on the top rack at the same time.We were 4 very stuffed and happy people for dinner last night!!!

Yummmm! What a wonderful feast you had, was it a special occasion? Or were you guys just really in the mood for a major lobster night?

Lobsters were on sale at our local supermarket for 5.99/lb- that's always a reason to celebrate!!!!;)

If I ever saw lobster that cheap here, I'd drop the money right then and there and buy a few.

The last time I looked, Lobster was running $12.99/lb here.

My favorite part is the claws. The tail is a bit tough.

I have to admit, tried my first lobster earlier this year, just the tail, and loved it... not sure if I could cook one live though...

Our local supermarket ALWAYS has good deals on lobster for around Father's Day and Labor day.So unless dh is working we usually take advantage of the sale. I never sick around for the execution though- rather not get to know the critters up close and personal!!
