Broiled Lobster

Take a live lobster, and after it has been boiled split it lengthwise, and pick out
all the uneatable parts ; open it flat, place two small pieces of butter on it, and dust
over with pepper ; place the halves of the lobster, just as they were in their shells,
on a gridiron, and heat slowly over a fire. When done put them with their shells on
a hot dish, garnish with parsley and serve.
