Lobster

Butter Sauce

Method

Prepare the Lobster

  1. 1

    Boil the Lobster

    Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, then add the sea salt. Carefully add the live lobsters to the pot and cover. Boil for 8-10 minutes for a 1.5-pound lobster, until the shells turn bright red.

  2. 2

    Remove and Drain

    Using tongs, remove the lobsters from the pot and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes and then drain.

Prepare the Butter Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and black pepper to taste.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Lobster

    Split the lobsters in half and arrange them on serving plates. Drizzle the warm butter sauce over the lobster and serve immediately.
