Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

Rinse the whole Maine lobsters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Using kitchen shears, cut the lobster from the head to the tail to make it easier to grill.

Clean the Lobster

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and the juice of the lemon. Optionally, add paprika and chili flakes for extra flavor.

Prepare Marinade

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Preheat the Grill

Brush the lobster halves generously with the marinade, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Let the lobsters sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Marinate the Lobster

Place the marinated lobster halves on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Grill the Lobster

Remove the lobsters from the grill and drizzle with melted butter if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
