Quick recipe steps:

1. Start your BBQ with our firestarters. Let the BBQ rise to high heat.

2. Mix the oil with chopped fresh thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Add a little Sea Salt from the grinder.

3. Cut the lobster in half. This is a bit of a hassle, you want to kill the lobster with one motion. On the head of the lobster you will see a cross. Take a sharp knife and place it on this cross, give a hard tap and cut the head and also the body directly.

4. Carefully remove the viscera from the head.

6. Place the lobsters on the grill of the hot bbq with the cut edges facing down. Roast the lobster for about 3-4 minutes until the lobster shells have turned a nice deep red. Be careful not to overcook the meat as it will not taste good.

7. Meanwhile, stir the Fish Grinder herbs, chopped parsley and garlic, lemon zest into the butter and season with pepper and perhaps a little salt.
