1
Preparing the Lobster
Fill a large pot with water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil.
2
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the live lobsters headfirst into the pot. Cover the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes.
3
The lobsters are done when their shells turn bright red. Remove them from the pot and set aside to cool.

4
Melting the Butter
In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat.
5
Adding Garlic and Seasoning
Chop the garlic cloves finely and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
6
Finishing the Sauce
Add the juice of 1 whole lemon, 1 cup of chopped parsley, and season with black pepper. If using, add 1 cup of white wine and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Stir well and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

7
Serving the Lobster
Once the lobsters have cooled, crack the shells and remove the meat. Arrange the lobster meat on a serving platter.
8
Drizzling with Sauce
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster meat.
9
Garnishing
Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
