Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steamer

    Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and add 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Bring the water to a boil.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lobster

    While the water is heating, take the Maine lobster and rinse it under cold water to remove any debris.

  3. 3

    Steam the Lobster

    Once the water is boiling, carefully place the lobster in the steamer basket and cover the pot with a lid. Steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster is bright red and the meat is opaque.

  4. 4

    Remove and Serve

    Using tongs, carefully remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool for a minute. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.
