Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 1

Whole lobsters

Steps:

  • Bring very large, covered pot of salted, fresh water to boil over high heat. Pick up lobster by holding the upper side of the thorax (the mid body after the claws) between the thumb and middle finger. Hold the underside of the body away from you, lobsters may flip the jointed tail, splashing hot water on you. Quickly put the lobster headfirst into the boiling water. I am told this causes the lobster no discomfort. More than one lobster can be cooked at the same time if there is enough room and water to cover them. Lobster is cooked when outer shell is entirely red. Small lobsters cook in approximately 10 minutes and large lobsters cook in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from water and serve with plenty of melted butter.
