Method

  1. To make the chilli sauce, put the chillies and garlic cloves in a square of foil. Drizzle 5 tbsp of olive oil over. Season and wrap up tightly. Put on the barbecue or place in an oven heated to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and cook until the chilli and garlic are tender (about 20 minutes). Tip into a bowl and mash together with the back of a spoon. Remove the garlic skins and the tops and skins of the chillies. Add a handful of chopped parsley and mix in more olive oil until the dressing has a pouring consistency.
  2. If you are cooking lobster, then you will need to halve them first using a very sharp knife - ask your fishmonger if you prefer. Put the lobster on the grill, cut-side down, turning it once - about 6 minutes in all. Prawns and langoustines will take about half the time. Use the chilli sauce to baste if you like.
  3. Grill the lemon halves, cut-side down and serve with the shellfish and chilli dressing.

Know-how

This dressing goes equally well with hot or cold seafood, so if you prefer, buy your shellfish cooked. If the fishmonger has some samphire (a seaside-growing plant with a pleasantly salty taste), buy some and serve, steamed and buttered, with the shellfish.
