Instructions

6. Once the lobster has cooled, crack and remove the meat from the shell.

Tips

– If you don’t have a large pot, you can steam the lobster instead.

– To steam the lobster, place it in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 12-15 minutes.

– Be sure to keep an eye on the lobster while it’s cooking, as overcooking will make it tough.

– You can also roast or grill the lobster. To do this, preheat the oven or grill to 375°F (190°C). Place the lobster on a sheet pan or grill grate and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked through.
