- Chop your parsley and cilantro then mince your garlic. Put in your mixing bowl.
- Add to your mixing bowl the olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes. Stir well and set aside.
- Preheat your grill.
- Boil water in your stock pot.
- Grab your live lobster with your long tongs and place into the boiling water head first. This is the most humane way.
- Boil your lobster for 4 minutes.
- Once your lobster is bright red, use your long tongs and remove from the water and place on large cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, split your lobster in half lengthwise.
- Brush the meat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook each side to temperature which should be 140 degrees.

- Remove and plate! I put my lobster on top of a bed of cilantro lime rice and roasted corn. ENJOY!
