Ingredients

8 (1 1/2 pound) live lobsters
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 skewers, soaked in cold water
Green Curry-Mango Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
4 ounces black caviar, optional

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Drain the lobsters and put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain the lobsters well, remove the tail from the lobster, and carefully remove the tail meat from the shell.

Skewer each tail onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Brush the tails with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred.

Place the lobster skewers on a platter and drizzle with some of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. Top with dollops of caviar, if desired. Serve the remaining sauce in small bowls for individual dipping.

Green Curry-Mango Sauce:

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup canola oil
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
2 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and serrano chile and cook for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add mangoes and water, stir well, and cook until the mango is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender (see *Cook's Note below). Add the lime juice, cilantro, and honey and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release 1 corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times, and then process on high speed until smooth.

Sensational!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tangy, spicy and refreshing on Lobster, pork, chicken or any other meat. I substituted red curry paste for green curry and... the result was still sensational.Read more

Made it low fat, still outrageously good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As a weight watcher, I balked at the amount of oil added to the sauce at the end. I decided to try the recipe as written,... without the oil. It was magnificent!!!! I used an immersion blender to puree the sauce; served the lobster & sauce with quinoa and stir fried veggies (red bell pepper, snow peas, slivered carrots, fresh corn, scallion) for a fabulous healthy meal.Read more

Excellent sauce!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sauce is amazing!! Excellent recipe. The only thing that made it not so great is that I overcooked the lobster tails.... They were frozen so I boiled them the full amount of time, then by the time I grilled them they were way too dry. But, I can't really blame the recipe for that so five stars for the sauce! I think next time I'll use the sauce for shrimp or scallops... until I can learn how to properly cook lobster tails at least.Read more

Sauce is fantastic
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

There is a finesse to getting the grill exposure timing on this just right, I've had trouble with the meat drying out. Now... just boil the lobsters. The sauce is fantastic and a favorite for us.Read more

Great sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I prepared this a while back, and to save some expense, I used chunks of lobster tail, large shrimp, and scallops. I also... skipped the caviar. The sauce was fantastic on the shellfish mixture!Read more
