  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and add 1 cup of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning. Stir to combine.

    Boil the Water

    Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

    Add the Lobster

    Carefully add the live Maine lobsters to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobsters are bright red and cooked through.
