This delightful dish is not only elegant, but also surprisingly simple to prepare, making it the perfect choice for an intimate and indulgent Valentine's Day meal. So, let's get started and light up the grill!

Ingredients:

• 4 live lobsters, about 1 and 1/2 pounds each
• 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to high heat and make sure the grates are clean.

2. Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Clean the lobsters: Rinse the lobsters under cold running water and use kitchen scissors to cut off the rubber bands from their claws. Split the lobsters in half lengthwise, starting from the head and ending at the tail. Remove the digestive tract and the tomalley. Removing the digestive tract and tomalley from a lobster can be done by first cutting off the head and claws. Then, lift the tail to locate the digestive tract, which runs along the top of the tail. Use a small knife or your finger to gently remove the tract, taking care not to damage the meat. The tomalley, also known as the green liver, can be found in the body cavity of the lobster and can be removed by simply scooping it out with a spoon. It is important to note that the tomalley should be thoroughly cooked before consuming, as it can contain bacteria.

4. Brush the lobster halves with the garlic butter mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Grill the lobsters: Place the lobster halves on the hot grill, meat-side down, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the meat is fully cooked and the shells are slightly charred. Baste the lobsters with the remaining garlic butter mixture as they cook.

6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the grilled lobster with lemon wedges and additional garlic butter on the side.

And there you have it, my lovely friends! A decadent and sensual dish that will leave you and your significant other feeling blissful and satisfied.

Whether enjoyed on the patio or in the dining room, this succulent and seductive Grilled Lobster with Garlic Butter is the perfect way to celebrate the love and joy of Valentine's Day.

So, light up the grill and get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this delectable and romantic meal!
