Name: Grilled Lemon-Tarragon Lobster
Yield: Serves 2; can be doubled
Ingredients: 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel; 2 tablespoons chopped chives; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried; 2 live lobsters, each about 1 1/2 pounds

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Traditional New England side dishes like boiled potatoes, corn on the cob and coleslaw are just right with this festive dish. If it's more convenient, thaw two frozen uncooked lobster tails (skip the parboiling). The Goober Ice Cream Sandwiches are perfect to wrap it up.
