Ingredients

2 lobsters
Sea Salt, Kosher Salt or Regular Salt

Fill a large kettle 3/4 full of water, allowing about 21/2 quarts of water for each lobster. Add 2 TBSP. of salt for each quart of water. When water boils, put in the live lobsters one at a time headfirst, completely submerging them. Let the water boil again. Lower the heat, cover and simmer.

15 minutes for 1 - 11/4 pound hard-shell lobsters
20 minutes for 11/2 - 2 pound hard-shell lobsters.
Reduce cooking time by 3 minutes for new-shell lobsters.
Lobsters are done when the outer shell is bright red or the antennae pull out easily. Serve with melted butter
