Grilled Lobster With Limoncello Oil And Arugula ... Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil Juice and zest of 3 lemons
- 1 bn fresh marjoram
- 3 Tbsp. limoncello or possibly other lemon liqueur see * Note
- 4 x live spiny or possibly Maine lobsters - (2 lbs ea)
- 2 c. arugula Coarse salt to taste
- 2 x lemons quartered lengthwise
Directions
- * Note: Limoncello is a strong lemon-flavored liqueur from Southern Italy. You can find it at many fine wine stores.
- For the Limoncello Oil: Tie fresh marjoram tightly at the stem end with a string, set aside. Bring oil, lemon juice and zest to a near-boil in small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour into bowl. Immediately add in marjoram and limoncello, cover and steep, like tea, 1 hour. (This oil can be stored in covered jar away from light for up to 1 week.)
- For the Grilled Lobsters: Kill lobsters by piercing shells with sharp point at center of back end of eyes. Place whole lobster on hottest part of grill 3 min per side and remove from heat.
- Cut lobsters in half lengthwise and, careful not to lose a drop of tomalley or possibly roe, gently anoint them on flesh side with scented oil, using marjoram bunch from Lomincello oil like a brush.
- Gently place shell-side down on grill and cook till nearly done, 6 to 7 min. Turn flesh-side down and cook 1 minute and remove to platter.
- Dress arugula with 1/4 c. Limoncello Oil and some salt and pile in center of platter with lobster. Serve hot or possibly at room temperature with any remaining oil and lemon wedges on side.
- This recipe yields 8 servings.
