  11. Place the lobsters on the grill shell-side down; cover with a disposable aluminum pan and cook until the shells turn red and the stuffing is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. 
  12. Sprinkle with parsley; serve with lemon wedges and the remaining butter-oil for dipping.

Recipe Tips

When boiling the lobsters, make sure to use a large pot with plenty of salted water. This will ensure even cooking and enhance the flavor. A common mistake is overcrowding the pot, which can lead to uneven cooking.
For the breadcrumb topping, toast the panko in a separate pan with a bit of olive oil until golden brown before adding it to the mixture. This will give it a crispy texture and prevent it from becoming soggy when baked.
Be cautious with the garlic; if it cooks too long or at too high a heat, it can become bitter. Sauté the garlic only until fragrant before adding the linguica and other ingredients, aiming for a light golden color.

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.
