Ingredients

2 servings

1 whole lobster, (about 3 pounds, or 4 lobster tails)
8 -10 cups water
3 teaspoons salt

Steps

Prepare 1 whole lobster, by cutting and removing the rubber bands from the claws.
Bring the 8-10 cups water and 3 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the prepared lobster into the boiling water and cook about 5 minutes per pound of lobster. My 3-pound lobster took 15 minutes!
Carefully remove the lobster from the water and let it drain for a minute on a plate. Remove the meat from the lobster and dip in your favorite butter sauce!
