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
