Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (1.5 lbs each) live lobsters
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 whole, sliced into wedges lemon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Place a steaming rack inside the pot. Make sure the water level is below the rack.
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the lobsters on the steaming rack and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Steam the lobsters for 18-20 minutes, ensuring they turn bright red and the meat is opaque.
While the lobsters are steaming, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Set aside as a dipping sauce.
Once the lobsters are fully cooked, remove them from the pot using tongs and place them on a serving platter.
Serve the steamed lobsters with lemon wedges and garlic parsley butter.
Enjoy your elegant low-carb classic steamed lobster meal!
