Grilled Lobster: Preheat grill to high heat. Brush grill until very clean.
Bring at least 5 L (20 cups) water to a boil in a large pot. Cook lobster for about 4 minutes and remove from water immediately.
Transfer to baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Note: cook 1 lobster at a time to keep water at a boil.
When cool enough to handle, split lobsters in half lengthwise with a sharp heavy knife.
Place lobster halves, shell side up on grill.
Season the lobster with a little salt and pepper. Grill about 5 to 6 minutes, until lobster meat is just cooked through.
Serve immediately with the Lime Butter Sauce.
