Single Serving: Grilled Pitik (Slipper Lobster)


When the Expat Daddy came home last week with a 5 gallon plastic bag full of crabs and cuttlefish, the bag also contains 2 pieces of moderately sized slipper lobsters or what we call in the Philippines Pitik or Pitik -Pitik. That was actually the first time I would be able to cook and eat that crustacean. I must say it wasn't bad at all! The meat is soft yet firm, almost tasting like crabs but not as sweet. 
To add some flavor I have used a combination chopped garlic and green bell pepper and grated mozzarella cheese. What I did was to cut the lobster in half but not through the shell so I would be able to top the opening with the veggies and cheese. Before doing that, I have first seasoned the lobsters with a pinch of salt and pepper.
I have then put the lobsters on the grill to cook until the cheese had fully melted. When the melted cheese had formed, I have turned them over to cook the topside meat. Took me about a total of  15-20 minutes to cook them. 
We enjoyed eating the lobsters as is, with just a glass of ice cold coke. :)
