Boiled Lobster

• 4 lobsters
• 1 large pot full of water, heavily salted like sea water
• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 5 lemons

1. Start off by boiling the salt water for the lobsters.  Add three of the lemons cut in half (if you want, you can also add onions, carrots, and celery to the water for more flavor).  Once the water is to a slow boil, add the lobsters to the pot (if your pot can't fit all of the lobsters, do not overcrowd it, just do more batches).  The lobsters should only take 8-12 min or until they turn a deep red color and the white fat starts to appear on the shell.  It is easy to overcook lobster, so check frequently.
2. While the lobsters are boiling, melt the stick of butter and add two lemons worth of juice.  Mix them together and just cook until they are incorporated and melted. 
3. Once everything is done, serve the lobster on a platter and portion out the lemon butter.  Now enjoy your wicked tasty lobstah'!  Quick tip, have an extra bucket to put the shells in and a side container of water to rinse some of the impurities off before dipping into the butter.

Me Cuisine Tips

• You can also steam the lobster too!
• Use water on the side to clean the "gunk" off the lobster if you are not interested in eating that.
