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 place the live lobsters into the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for 12-15 minutes until the lobsters turn bright red.
3
Cool the Lobster
Remove the lobsters from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool for about 10 minutes.
4
Split the Lobster
Once cool, place the lobsters on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, split the lobsters in half lengthwise.
5
Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
6
Season and Serve
Sprinkle the lobster halves with fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Drizzle with the garlic butter sauce before serving.
