Ingredients

  1. 4 whole lobsters (approx. 500–600g each), halved lengthwise
  2. Olive oil, for brushing
  3. Salt & pepper, to season
  4. 250g unsalted butter, softened
  5. Zest and juice of 2 limes
  6. 1 large garlic clove, minced
  7. 1 cup fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  8. Salt, to taste
  9. Extra lime wedges
  10. Extra fresh coriander leaves
  11. Extra slices of lime & coriander butter

Method

  1. To make the lime & coriander butter, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
  2. Lay a piece of baking paper on a chopping board and spoon butter mixture onto the centre. Use the paper to shape into a log, then roll up to enclose and twist the ends to seal. Chill until required, then unroll and gently cut into 1cm-thick slices.
  3. Lay each lobster on its back on a chopping board and halve lengthways with a large, sharp knife. Pat insides of lobsters with paper towel.
  4. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan on high. Brush cut sides of lobster with oil. Season. Cook, cut-side down, for 1-2 mins or until lightly browned. Turn and top each lobster half with slices of butter mixture. Cook, shell-side down, for 1-2 mins or until heated through.
  5. Serve with coriander, lime wedges and extra butter, if desired

Chef's Tip

Premium lobster needs very little cooking to shine. High heat and short grilling time keep the meat tender, sweet, and juicy while allowing the shell to develop a light smoky char. The lime and coriander butter should enhance the natural richness of the lobster — not overpower it — creating that fresh, restaurant-quality seafood balance found in great coastal cooking.
