Grilled lobster has a rich history dating back to ancient times when it was enjoyed by coastal communities. The dish gained popularity in the United States during the 20th century, particularly in New England, where it became a staple of seafood cuisine. Renowned chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay have popularized grilled lobster with their innovative recipes, drawing inspiration from traditional methods and adding their own unique twists. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in upscale seafood restaurants along the East Coast, where fresh lobster is grilled to perfection and served with a variety of delectable accompaniments. The key to a great grilled lobster lies in using fresh, high-quality lobster and mastering the grilling technique to achieve a perfect balance of smoky flavor and tender meat. For a unique alternative, some chefs opt for splitting the lobster and grilling it with a flavorful herb butter, creating a mouthwatering dish that's a true delight for seafood enthusiasts.
