Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool. Once cool, remove the meat from the claws and tails, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Reserve the shells for later.
