Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons kosher salt
4 live lobsters (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
lemon wedge, for serving
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon capers, drained
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Fill a large soup pot or lobster pot two-thirds full of water.
  • Add the salt and bring to a boil.
  • When the water has come to a rolling boil, plunge the lobsters headfirst into the pot.
  • Cover tightly with the lid and return the water to a boil over high heat.
  • Cook the lobsters until the shells turn bright red, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Lift the lobsters out of the water with tongs and drain well in a colander.
  • Remove the rubber bands from the claws, crack the claw shells, and drain off the excess liquid.
  • To make the lemon-caper butter, melt the butter in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, capers, and chives and keep warm, over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
  • Serve the lobsters with the butter and lemon wedges.
