Method

Lobster Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pot

    In a large pot, bring 4 liters of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Add the Lobster

    Carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook the lobsters for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red.

  3. 3

    Cooling

    Once cooked, remove the lobsters from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter until it is completely liquid.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
