Roast Lobster with Basil Pesto

Here is one of my favorite recipes using basic pesto. Lobsters are elegant, of course, but lately not so expensive. You can also use this same approach with any fish or shellfish. Before splitting, a lobster can be humanely killed by inserting a knife decisively between its eyes. Alternatively, it can be killed by plunging it into lightly salted boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Unfortunately, we don’t know which is preferable to the lobster.
