Lobster
Herb Butter
Method
Preparing the Lobster
Boil the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the live lobsters and cover. Cook for about 8-10 minutes for the first pound and an additional 3 minutes for each extra pound. Once cooked, remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
Split the Lobster
Once the lobsters are cool enough to handle, split them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife.
Making the Herb Butter
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter slowly to avoid burning.
Serving
Serve the Lobster
Place the split lobsters on a serving platter and generously drizzle the herb butter over the meat. Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side.
