HONEY LOBSTER
I have a lobster recipe that we use here.
I clean out their hole with an antennae enema. Then i get a bamboo skewer and insert it in the lobster to keep the tail straight while cooking. Meanwhile you get 1/4 inch of water boiling in a large pan. Also heat some butter in the microwave.
* Steam them hole for about 3-5 minutes till the shell turns red. (meat should be raw still but slightly cooked outside.)
* Take some Cooking shears and cut the lobster from tail to head down the centerline.
* Clean out the guts, stomach and the tail veign you might have missed with the antennae. (I dont like the guts in when it cooks because i really like to enjoy the head and body meat w/o that yellow goop)
* Blot dry
* Paint a generous amount of butter onto the flesh
* Place meat side down on a hot (very CLEAN - lobster can pick up flavors easily) grill that has been lubed with PAM
* Cook for 3 minutes more on that side so when you turn it the meat has nicely browned lines into the meat where it touched the grill
* Now turn it over, turn down the heat
* Liberally drizzle Butter onto the lobster meat so it can boil in its own juices and butter.
* This is the key.. Drizzle HONEY over the entire lobster meat.
* Let this cook till the legs are just starting to crisp, ~4 minutes or so.
The meat should be just slightly past the raw/cooked area so its all white and not transparent, but not too springy. The sugars of the lobster will be enhanced with the honey.
