Instructions
-
PREPARE THE LOBSTER
Fill a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the lobster. Add 1-2 tablespoons of salt per liter of water to mimic seawater. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Tip: A salted water boil enhances the natural sweetness of lobster meat.
-
COOK THE LOBSTER
Using tongs, carefully place the live lobster into the boiling water, head first. Cover the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes for a 500g lobster, adding 2-3 minutes for each additional 250g. The shell will turn bright red when done.
Tip: Do not overcook, overcooked lobster meat becomes tough and rubbery.
-
COOL AND DRAIN
Using tongs, transfer the cooked lobster to an ice bath or a plate to cool for a few minutes. Let excess water drain before handling.
Tip: Cooling prevents the meat from continuing to cook and firms it up for easier cracking.
-
CRACK THE SHELL
Place the lobster on a stable surface. Twist off the claws and knuckles, then crack them using seafood crackers or the back of a knife. Split the tail in half lengthwise and remove the meat.
Tip: Use kitchen shears to cut through the softer underside of the shell for cleaner extraction.
-
SERVE
Arrange the lobster meat on a plate and serve with melted butter, fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs
Tip: Pair with garlic butter for extra richness or serve with a light salad for balance.
