Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Lobster

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

  2. 2

    Cooking the Lobster

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the live lobsters to the pot. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes for the first pound and 3-5 minutes for each additional pound.

  3. 3

    Checking for Doneness

    The lobsters are done when they turn bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove them from the pot and let them drain.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Serve the lobsters with lemon wedges and melted butter for dipping.
