GZ'S GRILLED SEAFOOD PLATTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, then remove to the ice water and let sit until chilled. Slice in half lengthwise, cutting through the shells, and devein.
• Use 2 parallel skewers to thread 4 or 5 scallops, then repeat with the remaining scallops so you have 4 sets of double skewers. Repeat the same process with the shrimp. Thread all 4 lobster tail halves on two more skewers. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Stir together the butter, paprika, chili powder, habanero and garlic in a medium pot, then season with salt and pepper. Place over low heat and heat until just melted.
• Combine the capers, cilantro, mint, parsley, tarragon, thyme, chives and lemon zest in a medium bowl and mix. Add half to the melted butter and reserve the rest to garnish the platter.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray or wipe down with paper towels dipped in canola oil.
• Grill each lemon half, flesh-side down, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Place all the skewered seafood on a sheet tray and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper; drizzle with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook with the lid open, flipping once, until the scallops and shrimp are opaque in the centers and the lobster tails are just lightly charred and warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove all the grilled seafood to a large platter, then pour about half of the butter mixture over the top. Pour the remaining butter into 4 small ramekins and serve on the side for dipping. Garnish the platter with the remaining herb mixture and serve with the grilled lemon halves.

SHELLFISH MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Arrange your grill so about half is set to high heat and half is set to moderate. Soak 6 to 8 bamboo skewers for about 15 minutes.
• Twist off the lobster claws and use the base of a knife handle or a mallet to crack them. Arrange the lobster on a baking sheet and brush the cut sides of the bodies with some of the melted butter; season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Thread 3 to 4 shrimp on each of the skewers, brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add them to the baking sheet.
• Grill the lobster claws over moderate heat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add the lobster bodies to the hot side of the grill cut side down; grill just until the meat just starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the lobster and transfer it to the cooler part of the grill with the claws. Generously brush the bodies with more butter and close the lid. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the bodies and claws to a platter.
• Meanwhile, arrange the clams on the hot part of the grill, close the lid and grill until they pop open, 5 to 7 minutes. As each opens, transfer it to a bowl, trying to keep as much as the juice as possible.
• Grill the shrimp over high heat until light brown grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill for 2 to 3 minutes longer, until cooked through. Transfer to the platter with the lobster and serve all of the seafood with the sauces.

FISH MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• Start with plenty of melted butter. Use a large grill for the filets, lobster tails and crab legs. The skewers of shrimp and scallops can broil right on the regular grill. Dip the filets in melted butter and then in sesame seeds. Brush the lobster tails and the crab legs well with butter. Clean the shrimp as for Broiled Shrimp Appetizer and alternate them on skewers with the scallops. Brush these well with butter.
• The filets and lobster tails will take about 7-8 minutes, so start them first. Allow 5-6 minutes for the skewered shrimp and scallops and about 5 minutes for the crab legs. These only need to heat through. Brush everything liberally with butter during the cooking process, and sprinkle additional sesame seeds on the filets. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve on hot plates, with small bowls of melted butter, lemon wedges and dill sauce .
