1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt.
2
Add Lobster
Carefully add the live Maine lobsters to the boiling water. Ensure they are fully submerged.
3
Cook Lobster
Cover the pot and cook the lobsters for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn bright red and are cooked through. A general rule is 7 minutes for the first pound and 3 minutes for each additional pound.
4
Remove Lobster
Using tongs, carefully remove the lobsters from the pot and place them in a bowl or on a plate to cool slightly.

5
Melt Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter.
6
Add Garlic
Once the butter is melted, add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
7
Finish Sauce
Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Season with black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
