Como fazer How To Steam A Lobster

Fill your 4-5 gallon pot with 2 gallons of water. (Adjust water amount based on the weight of your lobster; aim for enough to fully submerge it.)
Add seasonings: 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper.
Add aromatics: 1 large onion, quartered; 4 cloves garlic, smashed; 2 bay leaves; 1/2 cup chopped celery (optional).
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Gently add live lobsters one at a time to the boiling water. Immediately start your timer. (Cooking time depends on lobster weight – see notes below)
Do not cover the pot. Maintain a vigorous boil throughout the cooking process.
After approximately half the cooking time has passed, gently stir the lobsters to ensure even cooking.
Once the cooking time is complete (see notes below), carefully remove lobsters from the pot using tongs or a large slotted spoon.
Let the lobsters rest for 5 minutes to allow the meat to absorb moisture from the shell before serving.
Carefully crack and enjoy! Don't forget the bib!
