BOILED LOBSTERS RECIPE - FOOD NETWORK



Boiled Lobsters Recipe - Food Network image

There is truly no more magnificent feast than a lobster dinner, whether it's eaten at a lobster pound picnic table or on your very own deck. At Thurston's Pound in Bernard, Maine, you choose your lobsters from the tanks near the order window, and then they're boiled in clean seawater in a large propane-fired cooker. To replicate this at home, just be sure to add enough salt to the water to create the right balance of ocean-briny flavor. A mere swipe through melted butter, a squirt of lemon and that's all anyone needs. Heaven!

Categories     main-dish

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 or 3 tablespoons salt
4 live lobsters (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Fill a large stockpot about half 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. Clamp the lid back on tightly and return the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the lobsters for 12 to 18 minutes (hard-shell lobsters will take the longer time), until the shells turn bright red and the tail meat is firm and opaque when checked.
  • Lift the lobsters out of the water with tongs and drain in a colander. Place underside up on a work surface and, grasping firmly, split the tails lengthwise with a large knife. Drain off the excess liquid. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.
