Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole lobsters (about 1.5 lbs each) split and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Basting Brush
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

  1. Start by cleaning and splitting your lobsters, pat them dry with paper towels, brush with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) and place lobster halves shell-side down on the grates. Cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Flip lobster halves so the meat side faces up, sprinkle with Gruyère and Parmesan cheese, close the grill lid, and let cheese melt for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Remove lobsters from the grill when cheese is melted, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Start with fresh lobsters for excellent flavor. Frozen will work but may lack quality. Don’t skimp on the butter; it adds moisture and richness. Use high-quality cheese for the best results. Adjust seasoning as necessary. Leftover lobster can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven, not the microwave, to preserve texture!
