Have you grilled a whole lobster before? It is simpler than it sounds. Split the lobster in half lengthwise, brush it with ancho chili lime butter, and set it shell-side down on the grill for 8 to 10 minutes. The shell protects the meat from direct flame while the butter bastes it from above. The ancho chili powder, lime, butter, and salt mix into a compound butter that melts down through the meat as it cooks.<\/p>\n

Shell-side down is not negotiable. Meat-side down dries out the lobster and the butter drips through the grates. The shell acts as a natural cooking vessel. The meat steams in the butter and comes out tender. Brush more butter on halfway through. This is one of those summer grilling moments that is genuinely hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n

Tips for Grilling Lobster<\/h2>\n

Split the lobster cleanly<\/h3>\n

Place the lobster belly-down on a cutting board. Insert a sharp heavy knife into the back of the head and push down firmly to split. Continue cutting through the tail.<\/p>\n

A dull knife or hesitation makes a ragged cut. One confident motion is faster and cleaner. Remove the stomach sac from the head but leave everything else.<\/p>\n

Make extra compound butter<\/h3>\n

Mix the softened butter with ancho chili powder, lime juice, and salt. Roll it in plastic wrap into a log and refrigerate until firm. Slice off rounds as you need them.<\/p>\n

Having extra butter lets you brush more on during grilling and serve additional rounds alongside the lobster for dipping. You will use more than you think.<\/p>\n\n

do I know when the lobster is done?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">The shell turns bright red and the meat is opaque and white. At 8 to 10 minutes over medium-high heat, the lobster should be cooked through. Overcooked lobster becomes rubbery, so check at 8 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can I use lobster tails instead of a whole lobster?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Lobster tails grill the same way, shell-side down. They take slightly less time, about 6 to 8 minutes, since there is less mass. Butterfly the tail before grilling for more even cooking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can I make the butter ahead?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">The compound butter keeps in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a month. Make it ahead so it is firm and easy to slice when you need it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"margin:32px 0 12px 0;font-size:20px;font-weight:700;color:#1a1a1a\">If You Liked This Recipe, You\u2019ll Love These<\/h3>\n<div class=\"hc-author-card\">\n<p>HC<\/p>\n<div class=\"hc-author-body\">\n<p>About Honest Cooking<\/p>\n<p>The Honest Cooking Editorial Team<\/p>\n<p class=\"hc-author-bio\">The Honest Cooking editorial team handpicks inspiring culinary stories to share with you that we think are beautiful.
