This broiled lobster recipe get the flavour of butter right into the lobster meat.

Turn the broiler on to pre-heat it.

Start with a live lobster. Cut it in half lengthwise, cutting right through the shell. See the how to kill lobster page for instructions on how to do this. Remove the intestine, tomallay, and roe.

Once it is cut in half, brush the meat with softened butter. Put it in a shallow baking pan, with the meat side down. Broil the lobster for 2 minutes.

Brush the meat with butter again. Turn the meat side up, and continue broiling the lobster for another 15 minutes, brushing with butter about every 5 minutes or so.

The lobster is done when the meat is opaque.
