Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Bring it to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lobster

    Carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling water. Cover the pot and boil for 8-10 minutes until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Drawn Butter

    While the lobsters are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the lobsters are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. Serve the lobsters with drawn butter, lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
