Grilled Lobster With Lime Butter And Mango Salsa Recipes

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH SALSA ROSA

Steps:

• Heat a wide saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the shallots for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly golden. Add the garlic and chiles and saute, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add the cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more, until the aromas are released but the spices are not burned. Remove pan from heat and add lime juice, butter to taste, salt and pepper. Set the mixture aside while you preheat a broiler or prepare a grill for highheat cooking.
• Cut lobsters in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Grill at high heat for approximately 8 minutes, shell side down. Then reduce the heat or move the lobsters away from the hottest part of the fire, rotating them 180 degrees to help them cook evenly, but keeping the shell side down. Grill at low heat for 5 minutes more. Spoon the spice mixture over the lobsters at the end of grilling for the last few minutes. Serve immediately with plenty of lime wedges.

WHOLE GRILLED PACIFIC SPINY LOBSTER WITH MANGO PAPAYA SALSA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Plunge the lobsters into the boiling water, cook for 8 minutes. Remove carefully and submerge in a bowl of ice water to immediately stop the cooking. Split the lobsters in half lengthwise and rinse out the head cavity and any veins that may be in the tail. Set aside.
• Toss the papayas, mangos and tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the lime juice and cayenne and salt, to taste. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• When ready to serve, brush a small amount of oil on the lobster meat and place the lobsters meat side down on the hot grill. Grill until lobster meat is lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook the shell side until lobster is heated through, about 3 minutes more. Remove the lobster meat from the shell. Add the mint to salsa, mix, and put on serving plates. Serve the lobster meat on top of the salsa.

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH LIME BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Lime Brown Butter Sauce: Add 6 tablespoons butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
• When it has melted and starts to bubble, add the shallots and zest.
• When the butter starts browning, remove from heat and add the lime juice.
• Season the brown butter with salt and pepper.
• Add chopped coriander if desired.
• Serve with Grilled Lobster.
• Grilled Lobster: Preheat grill to high heat. Brush grill until very clean.
• Bring at least 5 L (20 cups) water to a boil in a large pot. Cook lobster for about 4 minutes and remove from water immediately.
• Transfer to baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Note: cook 1 lobster at a time to keep water at a boil.
• When cool enough to handle, split lobsters in half lengthwise with a sharp heavy knife.
• Place lobster halves, shell side up on grill.
• Season the lobster with a little salt and pepper. Grill about 5 to 6 minutes, until lobster meat is just cooked through.
• Serve immediately with the Lime Butter Sauce.

GRILLED LOBSTER TAIL POUCHES WITH MANGO BUTTER

Steps:

• Butter -- I love to make the butter ahead of time to let all the flavors combine. Make it earlier that day or even the night before. You can use whatever method you want. Personally, I use my small food processor, but a small mixer works well as does a potato masher or fork to break up the mango. Just mix the mango, shallot (chop the shallot fine, if you are mixing this by hand), honey, lime juice and cilantro. A pinch of salt if you like and simple refrigerate.
• If you have leftover, don't worry. It is wonderful on fish, scallops are amazing, so are shrimp and even chicken breasts.
• Lobster Packets -- I like to use heavy duty aluminum foil, or just a double sheet, but I drizzle a little olive oil on the inside of the package which prevents the onion and mango from sticking. You don't need much, just 1 teaspoon at the most.
• Put 1 lobster tail in the center of each foil pouch and surround it with the mango and onion slices, and just a pinch of the red pepper flakes. Go easy, just a light pinch (you can always leave that out if you don't like the heat). Spread the mango butter (generously) over the lobster. Don't worry if a little spills over into the mango and onions. Top the lobster with 1 lime slice and wrap up your foil pouch like a little package. NOTE: Wrap up the packages, so after 20 minutes you can easily open and take a peak that the tails are done.
• Grill -- I use medium to medium high heat. Grill about 20 minutes.
• Serve -- Since your grilling the lobster, why not also make some potatoes in a pouch and grilled asparagus or green beans for a easy NO clean up dinner. The grilled mango, onion and red pepper is a nice easy side.
