INGREDIENTS:
(4 servings)
1 (2 pound) whole Maine lobster
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons red chili flakes
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
Remove and crack the claws, then slit the body. Mix the olive oil, basil, lemon zest, red chili flakes, red onion, and lemon juice in the bowl. Add Maine lobster to the bowl and mix. Marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Remove Maine lobster pieces from the marinade and place on the grill, meat side up. Cook, turning claws and bodies once, until meat is opaque. A good guide for grilling Maine lobster is seven minutes per pound.
