Broiled California Lobster Recipe

Serves/Makes: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 live lobster (about 2 pounds)
• 10 tablespoons butter (2 tablespoons softened plus 8 tablespoons melted)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 lemon, quartered, to garnish
• Watercress sprigs, to garnish

How to cook Broiled California Lobster:

• Plunge the live lobster into vigorously boiling water. Boil for 4 minutes, remove the lobster and allow it to cool sufficiently to be handled. Split the lobster lengthwise through the middle and rinse out its entrails.
• Make a mixture of the softened butter, paprika, and a dash each of salt and pepper, and brush half of the mixture on the cut flesh of the lobster.
• Place the lobster halves, flesh side down, over charcoal and broil for 6 minutes. Turn over the lobster, brush on the remainder of the butter mixture and finish broiling the halves until the flesh is opaque – about 10 minutes.
• Garnish the lobster with the lemon quarters and watercress. Serve the Broiled California Lobster at once, accompanied by the melted butter.
