Grilled California Lobster

Ingredients

• 3 (1 1/2 to 2 pound) California (Pacific) lobsters
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

Preheat a grill or an oven broiler.

Place the lobsters in boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes, 4 minutes for every pound. Make sure not to overcook the lobsters. Split the lobsters in half from head to tail and rinse out the gut material.
