If you choose to use mesquite chips, soak them in water for an hour, then add them to the chip box in the gas grill, or mix them in with the charcoal in the regular grill.

To prepare the butter sauce, in a saucepan, melt the butter and then add the lemon juice, fresh chopped herbs, onion and garlic. Keep the sauce warm to use as marinade and basting sauce.

LOBSTER: Remove the claws and crack the shell. Place some of the butter sauce in the cracked claws and place on the hot grill first. With the remaining body and tail, cut in half and brush the meat side with the butter sauce and place meat side down on the grill.

SHRIMP: On bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water, skewer the shrimp or skewer shrimp alternating with large pieces of mushroom, tomato, onion, lemon and peppers. Brush the butter sauce on the shrimp and set aside and allow marinating briefly. Place the skewers on the grill and cook on each side.

OYSTERS AND CLAMS: Place the live oysters and clams on the grate of the grill and allow steaming. The shells will open when the cooking process is finished.

TUNA AND SWORDFISH STEAKS: Brush the fish steaks with the butter sauce and season with Stax’s seasoning. Place on the grill and cook until the fish is firm and flaky.

SALMON: Brush the filets with olive oil and season with Stax’s seasoning. Place on the grill and cook until firm. Just as the cooking process is completed, brush the fish with BBQ Sauce.
