Never done it before but gonna try it today. From what I have read cut down the tail and put a skewer through the meat. Grill meat down for 5-6 minutes. Then turn over and baste with butter till done. Can anyone add some tips to this or do I have it down?

I cut mine in half long ways. I then sort of filet or separate the meat from each side of shell but leave meat sitting in the shell. depending on how many lobster you have, melt 1 stick of butter and and juice from half of a fresh lemon. If you can get Ghee use it instead of butter.

place meat up on med/high grill and coat meat with butter/lemon mixture several times. Cook until any part of the shell becomes charred.

Flip over and cook meat side down for a minute or so, remove add more butter and eat. place butter/lemon in a small bowl next to each person so they can dip each bite. As an option if you have plenty of lemons slice thin and place on grill. when ready to flip meat side down place lobster on bed of lemon slices.

Don’t use just butter. Mix some melted butter, lemon juice, and chopped dill.

I'd like to try grilling lobster, I've never tried cooking that before. I don't even know how to do clams or mussels. I wanna learn how to crack an oyster also I know if can all be learned easily online but I just need to do it.

I've done this plenty of times. Probably overcooked it just as many times. Its fricking delicious though.

This is a good recipe for your next time if you do it again. I wouldn’t grill it meat side down over direct heat, do it indirect laying over the shell. Use a thermometer and pull it at 130.
