Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Lobster

    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.

  2. 2

    Cooking 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).

  3. 3

    Melting the Butter

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

  4. 4

    Serving

    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.
