Luxury is lobster and what better way to top it than with the butter of a goddess? I simply love everything about anything “green goddess.” I have shared mussels, twice-baked potatoes, a burger and yes, even a salad, all with green goddess spins. It’s worth a search. Until then, enjoy my newest obsession, and if you have some shrimp around, you know what to do!

Ingredients

Lobster:

Herbs:

Compound Butter:

Rice:

Directions

Special equipment:
wooden or metal skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour
  1. For the lobster: Skewer the lobster halves through the center of the meat to prevent the tails from curling on the grill.
  2. For the herbs: In a medium bowl, toss together the chives, cilantro, dill, parsley and tarragon.
  3. For the compound butter: In a medium bowl, add the butter, paprika, chile flakes and garlic. Stir with a rubber spatula until the seasonings are blended into the butter. Add half the herb mixture and stir to combine, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 week to allow the flavors to distribute.
  4. Preheat a seasoned grill to medium-high heat and add the lobster, flesh side down. Grill until they release and there are grill marks and slight char, about 3 minutes. Flip over, reduce the heat and spread the flesh of each with the compound butter. Cook, brushing with the compound butter, until the flesh is opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. For the rice: Microwave the rice as instructed on the packaging. Remove to a large bowl and toss with the remaining herbs. Spritz with orange and lemon. Serve.
