Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 1.5 pounds each) Live lobsters
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 cup (Whole30-approved) Ghee
- 1 whole Lemon
Instructions
Begin by selecting fresh, live lobsters from your local seafood market. Ensure the lobsters are active and healthy.
In a large pot with a steamer insert, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt to the water.
Once the water is boiling, place the lobsters into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Steam the lobsters for about 12-15 minutes, or until the shells are bright red and the meat is opaque.
While the lobsters are steaming, melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat.
Cut the lemon in half and juice it. Add the lemon juice to the melted ghee, stirring to combine.
Once the lobsters are done, carefully remove them from the steamer. Allow them to cool slightly before handling.
Serve the lobsters immediately with the lemon-ghee dipping sauce on the side.
For a complete meal, consider pairing the steamed lobsters with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
