Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (1.5-2 lbs each) Live lobsters
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 whole, cut into wedges Lemon
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, melted (optional for serving) Butter
Instructions
Begin by ensuring you have a large enough pot with a tight-fitting lid to comfortably hold the lobsters during steaming.
Fill the pot with 3 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, place a steaming rack or basket in the pot to hold the lobsters above the boiling water.
Quickly add the live lobsters to the pot, shell-side up, and cover the pot immediately with the lid.
Steam the lobsters for 15-18 minutes. The lobsters are done when they are bright red and the antennae pull away from the body easily.
Remove the lobsters from the pot using tongs, handling them carefully as they will be hot.
Allow the lobsters to cool slightly before serving. During this time, you can melt butter if you wish to offer it as a dipping sauce.
To serve, place each lobster on a plate and garnish with fresh lemon wedges and parsley. Melted butter can be served alongside, if desired.
