Ingredients:
4 1 1/2 -pound live lobsters |
12 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1/3 pound linguica (portuguese sausage), finely chopped |
6 cloves garlic, chopped |
1 3/4 cups panko (coarse japanese breadcrumbs) |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish |
3 tablespoons minced chives |
juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for garnish |
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. See how to prepare live lobster
2. Prepare the lobsters. Preheat a grill to medium.
3. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until the fat begins to render, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour about half of the butter-oil into a bowl and keep warm; leave the sausage in the skillet. Add the panko to the skillet; cook, tossing, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
4. Brush the lobster tails and cavities with some of the reserved butter-oil; season with salt and pepper. Firmly pack the breadcrumb mixture into the cavities and onto the tails; drizzle with more of the reserved butter-oil.
5. Place the lobsters on the grill shell-side down; cover with a disposable aluminum pan and cook until the shells turn red and the stuffing is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley; serve with lemon wedges and the remaining butter-oil for dipping.
