Ingredients

4 1/2 lb. lobster

1 cup breadcrumbs, toasted

1 clv garlic, finely, minced

1/4 cup melted butter

1 cup parsley, chopped

1 lemon, zested, and, chopped

1 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

Preheat the grill.

Using a very sharp and large knife, cut the live lobsters length wise in two starting from the head. Put them on the hot grill, shell-side down to begin and cook them for 5 minutes. Flip them after this time and grill the meat side for approximately 4 minutes.

In the meantime, make your gratin mixture by combining the breadcrumbs, the garlic, melted butter, parsley, lemon zest and the paprika in a large bowl. Spread this mixture on top of the lobster meat and put them in the oven under the broiler for 2 minutes or until the breadcrumbs begin to brown.
