Lobster is one of my favorite things! It is very tasty and will make anyone swoon over a Valentine’s Day candlelit dinner. I always have to have a little side of melted butter with my lobster, but some people just eat it as is. You can serve it in the shell or remove it and add it to a beautiful linguini pasta with roasted vegetables. You can also chill it once it is removed from the grill and add it to a salad. Anyway you prepare it, I hope you enjoy it.
