1
Prepare the Pot
Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Add the Lobster
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the whole live lobster to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.
3
Cooking Time
Cook the lobster for about 8-10 minutes for the first pound and an additional 3-4 minutes for each extra pound. The lobster is done when its shell is bright red and the meat is opaque.
4
Remove and Serve
Using tongs, carefully remove the lobster from the pot and let it drain. Serve hot with melted butter and lemon wedges.
