Chilled Lobster Recipe

Chilled Lobster Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lobster

   Fill a large pot with water and add sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.

2. 2

   Cook the Lobster

   Once the water is boiling, carefully add the live lobsters headfirst into the pot. Cover the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red.

3. 3

   Ice Bath

   Prepare a large bowl filled with ice and cold water. Once the lobsters are done cooking, transfer them immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Extract the Meat

   Once the lobsters are cool, remove the meat from the claws, tail, and knuckles. Cut the tail in half lengthwise for easier removal of the meat.

5. 5

   Prepare the Dressing

   In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh chives, and black pepper. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and mix well.

6. 6

   Combine Lobster and Dressing

   Add the lobster meat to the dressing mixture, gently folding to coat the meat evenly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the chilled lobster on a platter, garnished with additional chives and lemon wedges.
