- Fill a large pot three-quarters full of salted water and bring to a boil. Add in 2 of the lobsters head first, cover the pot and cook just till the lobsters are proportionately red, about 1 minute. Take the lobsters from the water and set aside to cold. Return the water to a boil and repeat with the remaining lobsters. (Cook the lobsters one at a time if your pot is not large sufficient for two.)
- Preheat the grill to high, or possibly heat coals till they glow red, with white ash around the edges.
- When the lobsters are cold sufficient to handle, remove the claws and partly crack their shells with a hammer. Separate the tail from the body and split the tail in half with a large knife. Rub a lightly oiled towel or possibly cloth over the grill.
- Set the claws and tails, cut-side down, on the warm grill and cook for 4 min. Turn the claws and tails and cook till the tail meat is opaque through, 3 to 5 min longer.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and lemon juice. Transfer the tails and claws to plates; pour some of the lemon-butter over the tail meat, passing extra melted butter and lemon wedges separately.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: You can also split a thawed spiny lobster tail and grill it in the same fashion, adding 4 to 6 min to the cooking time; omit the initial boiling.
