    Equipment

    • Skewers
    • Pellet Grill

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
    • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons fresh Italian parsley finely chopped
    • 2 teaspoons fresh chives finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon finely chopped
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 lobster tails 5-6 oz/tail, cut in half lengthways
    • 8 scallops on the shell 10-20/lb size – No shells? Use double foil shaped into shallow cups
    • 8 tablespoons hot Portuguese chouriço or hot chorizo, diced to pea-size pieces
    • 16 wild caught shrimp shell on (26-30/lb size)

    For serving

    • Lemon wedges
    • Chopped chives
    • Chopped parsley

    Instructions
     

    • Heat pellet grill to 450°F
    • Melt butter, with oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, add garlic, sauté until fragrant (4-5 minutes). Add lemon juice, parsley, chives, tarragon, pepper & salt, stir to combine. Remove ½ cup of the sauce for cooking and reserve the rest in the saucepan for serving.
    • Place diced chouriço in a small dry non-stick frypan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until crisp (5-7 minutes)
    • Skewer lobster tails lengthways to keep them from curling while cooking. Skewers shrimp to make flipping more efficient.
    • Place lobster halves, flesh side down, on grill and cook for 2 minutes. Flip lobster over and spoon ½ tablespoon of the butter sauce over each half tail; add the shrimp skewers and brush with butter sauce: add the scallops on the shells and spoon ½ tablespoon of the butter sauce over each scallop (allowing it to pool in the shell) continue grilling 5-8 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through and brushing with more butter sauce. Cook until lobster meat is opaque & tender (135°F internal temperature), shrimp shell is a pink color and the meat inside is white/opaque, scallop flesh is milky white or opaque and tender (120°F-125°F internal temperature, as they will continue to cook in the hot butter sauce while plating and serving).
    • Sprinkle each scallop with ½ tablespoon of crispy chouriço and a little of the fresh herbs.
    • Serve immediately with warm reserved butter sauce, lemon wedges and chopped herbs.
