How to:
- To steam the lobsters, bring some water to a boil in a pot with the sea salt and a couple of whole garlic cloves in it. The pot should only be a ¼ full or about 2 inches
- Once the water has started boiling, add the lobsters. Make sure the pot is not over crowded
- Half way through, turn the lobsters/shift them a little
- In the meantime, heat the butter in a small sauce pan, and add the minced garlic, black pepper and herbs. Simmer until the garlic turns golden brown and then keep on low till the lobsters are ready. Add lemon juice just before serving. *as much or as little as you want
- Once the time is up, check that the lobsters are bright red and remove with tongs
- Run under some cool water and then start cracking! (you can look at some videos to see how)
- You can reheat the lobster before serving if you wish
- Serve with the butter and any sides you prefer. Because you steamed the lobster in sea salt solution, you won’t need to add anything else on it!
ENJOY!
