Grilled Lobster with Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce

Serves : 4
Preparation time : 20 minutes
cooking time : 10 minutes

Ingredients :

700g fresh lobsters, clayfish or king prawns, shelled and cleaned
pinch of salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Crispy Fried Basil Leaves (see Note), to serve

Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce
2 tablespoons oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 to 2 bird's-eye chillies
2 red chillies, sliced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
10 basil leaves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon cornflour in 1 tablespoon water

Method :

To make the Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce, heat the oil in a wok or saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and both types of chillies and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the oyster sauce, fish sauce and basil, and stir-fry for a further minute until well mixed. Add the cornflour mixture and cook for another 30 seconds until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Rub the salt and pepper onto the lobsters or prawns. Grill on a charcoal or pan grill or under the broiler for several minutes on each side until cooked. Place on a serving platter.
Spread the Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce over the grilled seafood. Serve hot, garnished with Crispy Fried Basil Leaves.

Note : To make the Crispy Fried Basil Leaves, stir-fry 8 to 10 thinly sliced or whole basil leaves in several tablespoons of hot oil over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until crispy and fragrant. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on paper towels.
