Saltwater Steamed Lobster
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 lobsters, as large as you like
- Fresh water
- Sea salt
Method
- Find a pot large enough to fit all the lobsters in.
- Pour about 1 inch of water into it.
- Add a handful of salt.
- Taste the water, it should remind you of a day at the beach and be pleasingly salty.
- Bring to a boil.
- To avoid nicks and cuts pull on a pair of cleaning gloves or other hand protection.
- Grasp the two legs of the lobster, cross them and hold them tightly.
- This will immobilize them as you slip the rubber bands off the claws.
- Drop them into the steaming water.
- Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from pot and when they are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the tail, claws and knuckles.
- Have fun!
