Ingredients
2½ lbs lobsters, or lobster tails, thawed if frozen
1 lemon, halved and squeezed
1 tbsp salt
12 cups water
melted butter, for dipping
Preparation
Fill a large lidded pot with roughly 1-inch of water. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and add lemon halves.
Add salt, bring to a simmering boil, and add lobster. Add as many lobsters as possible in the pot with the lid secured.
Cover and steam for 15 to 20 minutes until bright red. Lobsters will be very hot when done, do not touch with bare hands.
Serve with a side of melted butter and lemon wedges.
