boiled lobster

What’s more fun than a summer lobster boil?! Break out the biggest pot you’ve got!

Ingredients:

• 3 gallons water
• 1 head of garlic, peeled and cut in half
• 2 lemons, quartered
• 4 tbsp. sea salt
• 2 fresh live lobsters

Directions:

1. Pour the water into a large pot and add the garlic, lemons,  and salt.
2. Bring to a rolling boil.
3. Toss the lobsters in and boil for 20-25 minutes depending on how large they are. I’d say 20 minutes per pound and then 5 minutes per additional pound.
4. They will turn a very bright color.
5. Remove the lobsters from the pot, and place in a colander.
6. Give a quick rinse with cold water.
7. Serve with drawn butter or garlic butter!
