Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (1.5 pounds each) Live lobster
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 whole (cut into wedges) Lemon
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat.
Place a steaming rack inside the pot, ensuring that it is above the water level.
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the live lobsters on the steaming rack inside the pot, a single layer at a time if necessary.
Cover the pot tightly with the lid to ensure efficient steaming.
Steam the lobsters for 15 minutes. The lobsters will turn a bright red color when cooked, and the tail meat will be opaque and firm.
Using tongs, remove the lobsters from the pot and place them on a serving platter.
Garnish the steamed lobsters with lemon wedges and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy the succulent flavor of the lobster, complemented by the freshness of dairy-free garnishes.
