1
Prepare the Lobsters
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the lobsters, add sea salt, and bring it to a rolling boil.
2
Cook the Lobsters
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the live lobsters headfirst into the pot. Cover the pot and start timing. Cook for about 8-10 minutes for the first pound and an additional 3 minutes for each extra pound.
3
Remove and Drain
When cooked, carefully remove the lobsters from the pot using tongs and place them in a colander to drain.
4
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5
Garnish and Serve
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the lobsters, drizzle with garlic butter, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

6
Prepare Corn and Potatoes
While the lobsters are cooking, you can prepare the corn and potatoes. Husk the corn and rinse the potatoes.
7
Cook the Corn
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
8
Cook the Potatoes
In another pot, add the potatoes and cover them with water. Boil for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and serve alongside the lobster.
