1
Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Once done, remove the lobster and place it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
Make the Drawn Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it is fully liquefied. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.
3
Grill the Lemon
Slice the lemon in half and grill it cut-side down on a preheated grill for 2-3 minutes until charred.
4
Prepare the Fines Herbes
Chop the fresh herbs finely and mix them with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Split the lobster in half lengthwise, serve it chilled with drawn butter on the side, grilled lemon halves, and a sprinkle of the fines herbes.
