1
Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place the live lobsters in the pot and cook for 5 minutes to stun them. Remove the lobsters and let them cool.
2
Cut the Lobster
Once the lobsters are cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the tomalley and any other innards.
3
Marinate the Lobster
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously on the lobster halves.
4
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
5
Grill the Lobster
Place the lobster halves on the grill, meat side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the shell side.
6
Melt the Butter
While the lobster is grilling, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in chopped fresh parsley.
7
Serve
Remove the lobster from the grill and serve immediately with the drawn butter on the side.
