For Lobster
-
Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.

Using scissors, cut the top of lobster shell lengthwise down the center, leaving tail and fin intact. Loosen meat from shell, keeping the fin end attached; lift meat and lay over the shell.
-
Squeeze a little lemon over each tail.
-
Grill 10 - 12 minutes or until the shell has turned bright red and the meat is no longer transparent. you want to undercook the lobster just slightly since it will continue to cook with the mac and cheese.
-
Make sure not to overcook the lobster - it will get tough.
-
When cooked completely let cool.
-
Remove meat from shell and cut small bite size pieces and set aside

-
Add 1 cup of non-fat milk and whisk in.
-
Begin adding cheeses a little at a time, thoroughly whisking to melt and blend.
-
If sauce becomes too thick, add remaining cup of milk.
-
Once all cheeses are blended add salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and heavy cream. Add elbows to the mixture and stir again.
-
Add cooked grilled lobster and stir again.
-
Once combined well, add to a cast iron skillet or 9 by 13-inch rectangle casserole dish, (either should be sprayed with coconut oil to prevent sticking)
