Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobsters and cover. Boil for 8-10 minutes or until the lobsters are bright red and cooked through. Remove the lobsters from the pot and allow them to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

  3. 3

    Dress the Lobster

    Once the lobsters are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Place them on a serving platter, and generously drizzle the garlic butter dressing over the lobster meat.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges and additional garlic butter on the side for dipping.
