Directions
Prepare the Lobster
Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and add 1 cup of sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
Boil the Lobster
Carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling water headfirst. Cover the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes for the first lobster and an additional 2-3 minutes for each lobster thereafter.
Check for Doneness
The lobsters should turn bright red and the meat should be opaque and firm. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them drain.
Serve
Place the lobsters on a serving platter. Melt the butter and serve alongside lobster with lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish.
