Description
A deliciously rich and umami-packed dish of grilled rock lobster glazed with a savory miso-butter mixture, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Rock lobsters (fresh or thawed if frozen)
- 3 tablespoons Miso paste (preferably white)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Lime (zest and juice)
- Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or chives, for garnish)
Instructions
- If using live lobsters, boil for 10 minutes until shells turn bright red. Let cool, then cut in half lengthwise and remove unwanted bits.
- In a bowl, mix softened butter, miso paste, minced garlic, lime juice, and zest to create the miso-butter mixture.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- Generously slather miso-butter mixture over lobster flesh.
- Place lobster halves flesh side down on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes until caramelized, then flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from grill and garnish with chopped herbs and a squeeze of lime before serving.
Notes
Serve with coconut rice, green salad, or garlic bread. Pair with white wine or light lager.
