Grilled Caribbean Lobster with Garlic Butter & №1® Aruba Sea Salt

A Caribbean Classic, Elevated by Simplicity

Few dishes capture the spirit of the Caribbean like freshly grilled lobster. Sweet, tender, and naturally rich in flavor, Caribbean lobster requires very little to become unforgettable. The secret lies in respecting the ingredient—allowing the lobster to shine while finishing it with exceptional butter, fresh citrus, and №1® Aruba Sea Salt.

Naturally crystallized under the Aruban sun and harvested entirely by hand, №1® Aruba Sea Salt provides a delicate mineral finish and satisfying crunch that enhances every bite without overpowering the lobster’s natural sweetness.

Whether enjoyed by the ocean, prepared for family and friends, or served as the centerpiece of a special dinner, this recipe brings the authentic flavors of the Caribbean straight to your table.

Why Nº1® Aruba Sea Salt?

Great seafood deserves a finishing salt that complements rather than competes with its natural flavor. Handcrafted in Aruba, №1® Aruba Sea Salt retains its clean mineral character and crisp crystal texture, creating the perfect finishing touch for fresh lobster. Added just before serving, it delivers bursts of flavor while preserving the lobster’s delicate sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh Caribbean lobster tails
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1 teaspoon №1® Aruba Sea Salt, plus extra for finishing
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster

Using kitchen shears, carefully split each lobster tail lengthwise through the shell. Gently loosen the meat and rest it on top of the shell for an elegant presentation.

2. Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lime juice, parsley, black pepper, and №1® Aruba Sea Salt. Stir until well blended.

3. Grill the Lobster

 

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the lobster generously with the garlic butter mixture and place the tails shell-side down. Grill for 8–10 minutes, basting once or twice with additional butter, until the meat is opaque, tender, and lightly golden.

4. Finish the Dish

 

Transfer the lobster to a serving platter. Brush with the remaining garlic butter and finish with a light sprinkle of №1® Aruba Sea Salt immediately before serving.

 

5. Serve

 

Garnish with fresh parsley and lime wedges. Serve alongside grilled vegetables, roasted baby potatoes, or a fresh tropical salad for a true Caribbean dining experience.
