Chef Darian's Jerk Lobster with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Jerk Marinade and Lobster:

2 whole lobsters

4 scallions, trimmed

4 sprigs fresh thyme

3 Scotch bonnet peppers

1 teaspoon allspice or pimento seeds

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 large orange, juiced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons oil

4 cloves garlic

1 large yellow onion

1 small lime or lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Grilled Pineapple Salsa:

1 large pineapple, peeled and cored

1 red bell pepper, seeds removed

1 jalapeno pepper - leave the seed in for extra heat

1/2 cup red onion

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling

1 teaspoon sugar

apple cider vinegar, to taste

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preparation For Jerk Marinade and Lobster:
Place all the ingredients (except lobster) into a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Cut lobsters in half lengthwise. Marinate lobster in 1 cup jerk marinade for at least 3 hours. Carefully pierce holes in the claws with a knife to allow the marinade to soak in.

Oil the grill before putting the lobster on, meat side down. Grill on high until cooked through.

Preparation For Pineapple Salsa:
Preheat your grill. Cut peeled and cored pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush with oil then grill until the pineapple gets some char - this helps to enhance the flavor!

Once cool enough to touch, chop grilled pineapple up into small pieces. Chop the red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion and cilantro.

In a medium bowl, combine grilled pineapple with the chopped red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Taste for salt and extra seasoning, adjust accordingly.

Top grilled lobster with pineapple salsa, being sure to pour over some of the juices as well. Enjoy!

"You should have that char, it's jerk!"
