Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Lobster

Fill a large pot with water and add sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.

2

Cook the Lobster

Carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes for the first lobster and 10-12 minutes for the second, or until they turn a bright red color.

3

Ice Bath

Remove the lobsters from the pot and immediately place them in a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for at least 15-20 minutes.

4

Prepare for Serving

Once chilled, remove the lobsters from the ice bath. Use lobster crackers to break open the claws and tail, and serve with melted butter, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley.
