Lobster on the Barbeque!

Ingredients:
1 unit       Live Lobster (1.5 lbs is ideal )
1 tablespoon Butter (Melted)
1 unit       Lemon (Juice squeezed)

Instructions:

	
		Clean grill, brush with oil ( canola, safflower, or corn oil ), and
preheat to medium high
	
		For the whole lobster, par-boil it first by dropping the lobster into a
pot of boiling water 4-5 minutes; remove and place into an ice bath (water
and ice) right away to stop the cooking.  After a few minutes remove
it from the water bath.
	
		Slice the lobster down the middle lengthwise to cut in half.  Clean
out the tomalley (green substance found in cavity of lobster of which you
can use for sauces and flavoring to seafood chowder).  
	
		You can choose to remove the claws and grill independently.  
If you leave the lobster whole, poke a small hole in the claw area to
create some air, with a small pointed knife.
	
		Brush the flesh side of tails with butter and lemon and sprinkle with
salt and pepper.
	
		On a pre-heated grill, lay the lobster flesh side down and cook for five
minutes.  Turn over, brush more lemon butter on tails and cook for
another five minutes.  Meat should be tender and opaque.
	
		Serve with lemon and butter on the side. 
	
		You can sprinkle a bit of herbs or spices on the tails if you like,
or slather with Bar-B-Q sauce.

*For Lobster tails only, there is no need to par-boil.  Cut tails down
the middle, brush with butter, lemon, herbs or spices, and grill the same
way.
