Boiled Lobster

Suits: Pescatarian. Allergens named in the ingredients: Crustaceans. Flags come from what shops, restaurants and cooks list and from the ingredient names. Always check the label. This is not medical advice.

Ingredients

  • 1 live northern lobster

Method

  1. Bring 12 cups of water to a boil in a pan that is large enough to accommodate the entire lobster.
  2. Stick a sharp knife in the head of the lobster from the top down, and make a quick 'lever' movement downwards with the knife until it is completely through. This kills the lobster almost instantly.
  3. Add the lobster to the boiling water and cook until it turns a bright red.
  4. Remove and let cool.
  5. Carefully slice the tail open along the midsection and remove the cooked tail meat.
