Prepare the Lobsters
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the live lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they're bright red and cooked through. Remove the lobsters, cool slightly, then remove the meat from the claws and tails. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Deglaze and Simmer
