Grilled Summer Lobster

This grilled summer lobster is an elegant yet straightforward dish that celebrates the very best of seasonal seafood. By par-boiling the lobsters before finishing them on the barbecue, you ensure the meat remains succulent and tender while picking up a delicious charred flavour. It is a fantastic choice for an outdoor dinner party, offering a sense of occasion without requiring hours of preparation in the kitchen.

As a high-protein main course, this recipe is both light and satisfying, served with two distinct homemade dressings. The first is a vibrant chipotle and lime oil that adds a smoky heat, while the second is a refined ginger and spring onion sauce inspired by classic East Asian flavours. Serve these alongside a crisp green salad or some buttered new potatoes for a truly memorable alfresco meal.
