Lobster

Buttered Red Potatoes

Clams and Mussels

Grilled Corn

Fried Caper Beurre Blanc

Method

Prepare the Lobster

  1. 1

    Grill the Lobster

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Split the lobster in half lengthwise and brush the flesh with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place lobster halves on the grill, flesh side down, for about 5-7 minutes until they start to char.

Buttered Red Potatoes

  1. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the red potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and toss with butter, chopped parsley, and salt.

Clams and Mussels

  1. 3

    Steam the Shellfish

    In a large pot, combine clams, mussels, white wine, minced garlic, and parsley. Cover and steam over medium heat until the shells open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any unopened shells.

Grilled Corn

  1. 4

    Grill the Corn

    Soak the corn in water for 30 minutes, then grill them directly on the grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Brush with butter and sprinkle with salt before serving.

Fried Caper Beurre Blanc

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté shallots until soft. Add white wine and reduce by half. Stir in capers and lemon juice, and cook until slightly thickened. Serve warm over the grilled lobster.
