Steamed Lobster
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Place the lobsters in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for about 12-15 minutes for whole lobsters or 8-10 minutes for half lobsters, until the shells turn bright red.

Grilled Lobster
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the lobster halves with the prepared garlic butter mixture. Place them cut side down on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Flip and baste with more garlic butter, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
