Ingredients
- 4 X 1.25 lb Lobsters
- 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
- ½ cup Olive oil
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Mustard, grainy
- 1 tsp Fresh lemon juice
- ¼ bunch Parsley, fresh chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced thinly
- ¼ lb Green beans, pre-cooked
- ¾ lb Baby potatoes, pre-cooked and sliced
- 12 Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 24 Olives, black, sliced
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
- Pinch Black pepper, freshly cracked
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; plunge in lobsters for 4-6 minutes to blanch. Remove lobster and cool to handle. Cut in half, lengthwise, remove viscera, and crack claws (this can be done well in advance).
- Mix together garlic and olive oil. Brush the lobster meat with garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the lobster flesh-side down on a hot grill until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Turn, and cook, shell side down for another 4-6 minutes. Continue to brush the lobster meat with garlic oil to ensure it stays moist. Reserve warm.
- Mix together mustard, mayonnaise and lemon juice and toss with green beans, baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, olives, parsley and green onions. Season and serve beside grilled Lobster hot or cold.
