Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lobsters Fresh lobsters, preferably 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Fresh lemon
- 4 quarts Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lobsters. Ensure you have fresh and lively lobsters for ideal results. Rinse them under cold running water.
In a large stockpot or lobster pot, add 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Once boiling, place a steam rack or basket at the bottom of the pot. Gently place the lobsters on the rack, making sure they are not submerged in the water.
Cover the pot tightly with a lid to ensure no steam escapes. Steam the lobsters for approximately 10-12 minutes per pound of lobster. For two lobsters weighing about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each, steam for 15-18 minutes.
While the lobsters are steaming, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter gently in a small saucepan over low heat.
Cut the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving.
After the required steaming time, carefully remove the lobsters using tongs and place them on a platter to cool slightly.
Serve the lobsters immediately with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, crack the claws and other parts as desired before serving.
Enjoy your Soy-Free Classic Steamed Lobster with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dip of warm, melted butter for the ultimate dining experience.
