Ingredients
- 2 whole (1.5 pounds each) Live lobsters
- 2 gallons Water
- 2 whole Fresh lemon
- 3 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your steaming setup. Fill a large stockpot with about 2 gallons of water, ensuring that the water level is below the steaming rack base or the bottom of your steaming insert.
Step 2
Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt, the fresh parsley, bay leaves, and one halved lemon into the boiling water to infuse flavor during the steaming process.
Step 3
While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the lobsters. Hold each lobster firmly and rinse them under cold running water.
Step 4
Once the water has reached a rapid boil, place the lobsters in the steaming rack or insert, allowing enough space between them to steam evenly.
Step 5
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and steam the lobsters for approximately 10-12 minutes for 1.5-pound lobsters. They should be a vibrant red and the tails should be curled.
Step 6
Remove the lobsters using tongs and set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Quarter the remaining lemon to serve alongside the lobsters for drizzling, offering a fresh, heart-healthy citrus flavor without additional fats.
Step 8
Serve the steamed lobsters hot with lemon wedges and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.
