- Firmly pack the breadcrumb mixture into the cavities and onto the tails; drizzle with more of the reserved butter-oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the linguica sausage with another type of sausage?
Yes, you can substitute the linguica with any smoked sausage, such as chorizo or andouille, for a similar flavor profile. If you prefer a milder flavor, use a regular pork sausage or a chicken sausage.
How should I store leftover deviled grilled lobster?
Store any leftover deviled grilled lobster in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill, but avoid overheating to prevent the lobster from becoming tough.
What should I do if I find the breadcrumb mixture too dry?
If the breadcrumb mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more melted butter or olive oil to moisten it. Additionally, a splash of lobster broth or chicken broth can help enhance flavors and moisture.
