Ingredients
- 2 live lobsters
- red chilli, sliced
- garlic, chopped
- olive oil
- leaves
Step 1: Slice the Lobster
Slice the lobster in half. Do this by plunging a knife into the cross and cutting length-ways along the lobster. Scoop out to the insides, remove the brain and twist offs the claw to leave the tails.
Step 2: Barbecue the Lobster
Add the lobsters to the barbecue shell-side down. Leave shell side down for most of the cooking time. Once the lobsters are mostly cooked, turn and cook the other side. Be careful to not let the lobsters dry out.
Step 3: Collect the Tail Meat
Remove the lobsters from the barbecue. Spoon out the meat from the tails and add to a bowl.
Step 4: Make the Salad
Heat some butter in a pan, add some chopped garlic and red chilli. Slice the lobster tails and top with the garlic and chilli. Then add some salad leaves and top with olive oil. Done.
