Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobsters

    Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and add 1 cup of sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Boil the Lobsters

    Carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling water. Cover the pot and boil for about 8-10 minutes or until the lobsters are bright red and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Butter Sauce

    While the lobsters are boiling, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley to the melted butter and stir well.

  4. 4

    Crack the Lobsters

    Once cooked, remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Use a lobster cracker or a mallet to crack the claws and tail shells.
