If you spray some truffle oil on raw, halved lobsters before you grill them ......

[Stinky The Clown]

.... the flavor is even better than grilled lobsters without it.

We celebrated Sparkly's birffday today. She usually asks me to make this tuna ragout which I serve over fresh, handmade macaroni. But this year she wanted lobsters

I dispatched Larry and Lenny with a sharp knife through the backs of their heads (very Omerta-esque.) I split them in half and cracked the claws, then patted them dry with a paper towel. I sprayed them generously with the truffle oil and grilled them. The grill was set to "Smelt Steel" and the four halves were done in just over 4 minutes - three minutes on the shell side and one minute on the cut side (so as not to lose the truffle oil baste).

The melted butter went mostly unused. They were that good.

On the side were:

Baked spuds

Grilled red peppers

Charred, Chinese green beans to which I added black sesame seeds and ginger

Mmmmm.
