In a large pot with a steamer insert, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt to the water.

While the lobsters are steaming, melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat.

Cut the lemon in half and juice it. Add the lemon juice to the melted ghee, stirring to combine.

Once the lobsters are done, carefully remove them from the steamer. Allow them to cool slightly before handling.
