Loving Lobster

Hi everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's web manager and friend. Over the past few weeks, I have treated myself to lobster almost anytime I've seen it on a menu. Lobster Cobb salad? Yes, please. Lobster potato salad? Absolutely. I just can't say no to these decadent crustaceans.

What better time to celebrate luxurious lobster than adding it to your Valentine's Day menu?! I took a cooking class a few years ago and quickly learned that cooking lobster is actually incredibly simple. The key, however, is to make sure you are buying the freshest, highest-quality lobster you can get your hands on. Enter LobsterAnywhere, a Maine-based company that ships! Maine lobsters are well known for their sweet, white meat. They're supposedly among the best lobsters around.

Below, find a recipe from the company that you can easily prepare at home.

Grilled Tail Off Lobster

You will need:

- 1 Maine lobsters

- 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare:

If it is frozen, thaw the lobster. You can do this by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or running cold water over it until it is thawed.

Remove the rubber band from around the lobster's claws.

Split the lobster in half by cutting down its spine.

Brush each half with melted butter or olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Place the lobster halves on the grill to medium-high heat (400 degrees Fahrenheit), shell-side down, and cook for about four minutes or until the meat is slightly charred.

Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.
