Nick and I procured four fresh crustaceans after school at Dirk's Seafood. Fairly outrageously priced at $20/pound (thanks, Mom!), they were lively fellows upon arrival in the refrigerator.
Nick helped with the gory part. We had to slaughter them two at a time.
The lobsters were parboiled in about four minutes. We took them out to cool a bit, and then pulled the claws off and split them down the middle.
We grilled them for about three minutes a side.
Here is the birthday boy, beaming over his "catch."
Voila! The finished product. Dressed with a basil vinaigrette and served atop arugula and boiled new potatoes.
