Lobster, shrimp, and crayfish take your backyard cookout to the next level – this grilled seafood platter with smoky sriracha mayonnaise and herbed butter is the perfect showstopper for your next summer gathering.
Begin by mixing together the herb butter for your seafood. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter with Maldon salt, cracked black pepper, the chopped parsley, and cilantro. Set aside.
The perfect way to cook your seafood is on a hot grill; if you don’t have one, a grill pan will work too. Make sure it has reached a medium to high temperature, and start by grilling your lobster halves. Cook flesh side down on the grill until the meat has turned pink and has some lovely charring on it. The shells will turn orangey pink, too, and this is when you know your lobster is cooked. Do the same with the jumbo shrimp and crayfish, although these will take less time to cook.
While your seafood is cooking, it is also nice to grill some lemon to serve alongside. Simply add your lemon halves cut side down onto the grill and allow them to cook and char for 3 minutes.
Once your seafood is all cooked, pile onto a large serving platter and, using a pastry brush, brush all across with your delicious herb butter – letting it melt in. Place your grilled lemon onto the serving platter, too.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha. Serve this alongside the platter of grilled seafood and allow everyone to tuck in!
