Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole live lobsters
- 2 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the lobsters under cold running water to clean them thoroughly.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Insert a steamer basket into the pot, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.
Step 3
Place the lobsters in the steamer basket head first. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the lobsters for about 18-20 minutes for two lobsters or until the lobsters turn bright red and the meat is opaque.
Step 4
While the lobsters are steaming, prepare the butter sauce. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan, stirring well to combine. Optionally, you can add freshly chopped parsley to add a hint of fresh herb flavor.
Step 6
Once steamed, carefully remove the lobsters using tongs and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the steamed lobsters with the garlic lemon butter sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping, ensuring a perfect keto-friendly meal.
