Instructions
Shrimp & Corn Salad
  1. Add shrimp to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, season with salt and marinate for at least 20 minutes. (This step can be done while you prepare the lobster)
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium high, add shrimp and corn. Cook shrimp for about 3 mins on each side or until pink and the corn for about 15 minutes or until nicely charred all over.
  3. Add your cooked shrimp, diced onion and tomatoes to the bowl. After the corn has cooled, place it into the bowl and slice off the kernels from the cob.
  4. Stir the salad, drizzle with olive oil and add a splash of red wine vinegar. Top with basil and set aside.
Lobster
  1. Fill a large stock or lobster pot with water. Squeeze lemon into the water, slice the head of garlic in halve and add it along with the coriander and thyme to the water. Bring the water to a boil.
  2. Place the live lobsters directly into the boiling water for 4 minutes and then remove to let cool. Remove the claws over the sink and allow the water from inside the lobster to drain out. Squeeze the body of the lobster to get excess water out.
  3. Place the tip of your knife right between the eyes and slice the lobster in halve from the head to its tail. Rinse the inside of the lobster to remove the greenish goo.
  4. Take the back of a knife and tap it along the top edge of each claw to make a little notch, allowing them to cook faster. Then place the claws and lobsters, flesh side down, on the grill. Let the lobsters cook for about 5 mins and the claws for about 7 mins on each side.
  5. Remove the Lobster and place on your serving platter or individual plates, top with your corn salad and it is ready to serve.
Recipe Notes

When shopping for lobster always go for the most active ones in the tank because they will have the most tender meat!

If you are using an outdoor grill, cook the shrimp on aluminum foil so it does not fall through the rack.
