Categories     Seafood

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 1-lb. lobsters
water
salt or seaweed
1 c melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large stock pot full of water and add salt or a piece of seaweed. Bring the water to a boil and then TURN OFF the heat.
  • 2. Place the live lobsters into the pot, keeping your hand well away from the claws. Lower them in claws first.
  • 3. Bring the water slowly back to a boil and cook the lobsters for about 15 minutes or until they turn bright red.
  • 4. Remove them from the water and drain briefly on paper towel. Place on a plate and garnish the plate with lemon wedges. Serve with individual dishes of melted butter for dipping. The lemons can be squeezed into your melted butter, if desired.
  • 5. NOTES: TIME--allow about 20 minutes for the water to boil, and 15 minutes for cooking the lobster. PREPARATION: This method of cooking puts the lobster gently to sleep and makes the lobster flesh much more tender. Claws can be partially cracked before serving, if desired.

The lobster was a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good. I'll try again next time and adjust the cooking time.

This recipe was a total fail. The lobster was tough and rubbery, and the drawn butter was bland. I won't be making this again.
