Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Lobster
Fill a large pot with water and add sea salt. Bring it to a rolling boil.
Cook the Lobster
Carefully add the live lobster to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster turns bright red.
Ice Bath
Immediately remove the lobster and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it chill for about 10 minutes.
Prep for Serving
Once chilled, remove the lobster from the ice bath and let it drain. Cut the lobster in half lengthwise and remove the meat from the shell.
Serve
Serve the lobster meat with melted butter, lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
