Ingredients
- 2 lobsters Fresh lobsters, preferably 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Fresh lemon
- 4 quarts Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lobsters. Ensure you have fresh and lively lobsters for ideal results. Rinse them under cold running water.
Step 2
In a large stockpot or lobster pot, add 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, place a steam rack or basket at the bottom of the pot. Gently place the lobsters on the rack, making sure they are not submerged in the water.
Step 4
Cover the pot tightly with a lid to ensure no steam escapes. Steam the lobsters for approximately 10-12 minutes per pound of lobster. For two lobsters weighing about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each, steam for 15-18 minutes.
Step 5
While the lobsters are steaming, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter gently in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 6
Cut the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving.
Step 7
After the required steaming time, carefully remove the lobsters using tongs and place them on a platter to cool slightly.
Step 8
Serve the lobsters immediately with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, crack the claws and other parts as desired before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your Soy-Free Classic Steamed Lobster with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dip of warm, melted butter for the ultimate dining experience.
