Basic Boiled Lobster | ||||
| The basic recipe for boiled lobster is simple. | ||||
| Boil enough salted water to cover the lobster.
Add about 2-3 tablespoons of sea salt to about 3 quarts, of water. Throw in a bay leaf, an onion, and a carrot to enhance the sweet taste of the meat. Let the water come to a full boil, plunge the live lobster in and cook about 12 minutes per pound, no longer. (Before cooking, wash it thoroughly under cold running water). If you decide to put rubber bands on the claws, don't worry, the rubber bands do not affect the flavor. | ||||
