I'm going to have a talk with my mail man because I haven't gotten my invitation to your new years party with lobster and shrimp on the barbie yet.

I use skewers on the shrimp. Use two or flat ones so the shrimp doesn't spin when you turn them. I don't know about grilling lobster though, I think I'd boil them. Have lots of melted butter.

Here's your answer to the shrimp and lobster recipes, both turn out great everytime.

Shrimp Marinade

¼ cup olive oil

3 Tbl Soy Sauce

2 Tbl Water

¼ cup white wine

2 tsp garlic (can use jar minced garlic)

½ tsp ginger (can use jar variety)

About 1 lb. of shrimp, nice sized, deveined, shell removed

Covers about 1 lbs of shrimp, marinate minimum 3-4 hours or I like to marinade about 7-8 hours and the flavor is great. To Grill: Take bamboo skewers and soak them in water for an hour or so. Thread approximately 6 shrimp on a skewer. Spray the grill with Pam to prevent sticking. Grill approximately 4-5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. Serve with additional garlic butter or cocktail sauce.

Cocktail Sauce (Once you’ve had this stuff, you won’t buy the store bought again)

¾ Cup Chile Sauce

2 Tbl lemon juice

2 Tbl Horseradish

2 tsp Worchestershire

3 drops of Tabasco

Mix and chill, You can make it hotter by adding more Tabasco or Horseradish

Lobster on the grill

2 ½ to ¾ lb Lobster tails

1 heaping tsp to 1 tbl garlic (can use the jar stuff)

¾ stick of butter or so

Put lobster tail so belly is down, with a sharp cooking shears cut the shell in half lengthwise (big end to the little end). Being very careful to cut only the shell not the meat. Carefully butterfly the tail open leaving shell on. Coat inside of shell/meat with garlic butter. Spray Pam on the grill.

Cook belly side down for 6-7 minutes, coat with butter mix, flip over, cook 6-7 minutes again with belly up. Flip drizzle more butter inside of shell and serve.
