Grilled Lobster with Garlic Olive Oil & Herbs Recipe at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

Few things feel as indulgent—and as simple—as splitting a fresh lobster and brushing it with good olive oil before placing it over the fire. At The Little Shop of Olive Oils, we love taking classic seafood and giving it our own signature twist. Our Garlic Olive Oil infuses each bite with bold, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of lobster.

This recipe is surprisingly easy: just a handful of ingredients, a hot grill (or broiler), and a drizzle of Garlic Olive Oil. The result? Juicy, smoky lobster with a rich garlicky finish that makes butter feel like an afterthought. Serve it with lemon wedges, fresh herbs, and a glass of crisp white wine, and you’ve got a dish worthy of any celebration.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard dinner or looking for a special weekend meal, this recipe proves that gourmet doesn’t have to be complicated—just delicious ingredients done right.
