Fill a large pot with water, enough to cover the lobster completely. Add sea salt to the water and bring it to a rolling boil.

Preparing the Lobster

Carefully add the live lobster to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster is bright red and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Cooking the Lobster

While the lobster is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Melting the Butter

Once cooked, remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side.
