Ingredients
- 2 whole live lobsters
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 4 cups water
- 1 whole (cut into wedges) lemon
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare your equipment by ensuring you have a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and a steaming rack or basket that fits inside the pot.
Step 2
2. Fill the pot with about 4 cups of water, or enough to just touch the bottom of the steaming rack. Add the sea salt to the water.
Step 3
3. Bring the salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 4
4. While waiting for the water to boil, rinse the live lobsters under cold water.
Step 5
5. Once the water is boiling, place the lobsters on the steaming rack in the pot, cover tightly with the lid.
Step 6
6. Steam the lobsters for about 15-18 minutes, depending on their size (roughly 7-8 minutes per pound). They should turn bright red and the antennae should pull out easily when they are done.
Step 7
7. Carefully remove the lobsters from the pot using tongs and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
8. Serve the steamed lobsters hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
