  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the rubber bands off of the lobster claws and then plunge the live lobster into the pot. Cover tightly with a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes. Remove and when it's cool enough to handle. Pull off the claws and cut the lobster in half lengthwise taking care to keep the shell halves intact (you will need these shells to complete the recipe). Remove the tail meat and clean the lobster shells by removing the green tomalley and rinsing well under cold water. Place them on a baking sheet. Crack the claws open and remove the claw and knuckle meat. Discard the claw shells.

  2. Heat oil in a small skillet and add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry until it begins to turn golden, 3 minutes. Add the spices and cook for 1 minute, mashing it into a paste.

  3. Put yogurt, lime juice, honey and spice paste into a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Chop the lobster meat and stir into the marinade.

  4. Place an oven rack at the top of the oven and preheat to broil.

  5. Spoon marinated lobster meat into the reserved lobster shells. Sprinkle each lobster half with 2 tablespoons of grated cheese and then place in the oven and broil until they are golden and bubbling, 5 minutes. Serve immediately with slices of lemon for squeezing.
