Ingredients

2 fresh lobsters (or thawed, raw)
100 g butter (at room temperature)
2–3 garlic cloves (finely grated)
1 tbsp chopped parsley
lemon zest + a splash of lemon juice
salt and pepper

Instructions

Prepare the lobster: Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise and remove the stomach sac (the small pouch in the head). Garlic butter: Mix the softened butter with the garlic, parsley, lemon, salt, and pepper.
Grill: Place the lobster halves flesh-side up. Spoon the seasoned butter generously over the meat. Cook over indirect heat for 8–12 minutes, basting with the butter during cooking. Serve immediately with extra lemon.
Why it's a luxury dish: Lobster is a premium ingredient, and the combination of butter and the grill imparts incredible flavor. It is simple yet exceptionally impressive. (Let me know if you would like another luxury option: meat, fish, or vegetarian).
