Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Live lobsters
- 16 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 2 whole Lemons
- 6 whole Garlic cloves
- 2.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 6 ears Corn on the cob
- 1 pound Smoked sausage
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Fill a large stockpot with 16 cups of water and place it over high heat. Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, and the juice of two lemons (then toss the squeezed lemons into the pot). Add the garlic cloves and bring everything to a steady boil.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the baby potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften.
While the potatoes are cooking, shuck the corn and slice each ear into thirds for easier handling. Slice the smoked sausage into 2-inch pieces.
After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, add the corn and smoked sausage to the pot. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Next, carefully add the live lobsters to the boiling pot, headfirst. Ensure each lobster is fully submerged. Cover the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster shells turn bright red.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully remove the lobsters, corn, potatoes, and sausage from the pot. Arrange them on a large serving platter or a covered picnic table for a casual spread.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and drizzle it over the boiled corn and potatoes. Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley for a fresh finishing touch.
Serve hot, with extra melted butter and lemon wedges on the side for dipping and squeezing. Enjoy your Lobster Corn Boil!
