Como fazer Maine Boiled Lobsters
- Fill a large stockpot with 2 gallons of water. Add 1/2 cup kosher salt and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- While the water is heating, rinse your live lobsters under cold running water. Gently but quickly submerge them into the boiling water, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil. Cover the pot and cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of the lobsters (smaller lobsters cook faster). The lobsters are done when their shells turn a bright crimson red and the meat is opaque.
- Carefully remove the lobsters from the pot using tongs and place them in a colander to drain. Immediately serve with clarified melted butter (recipe below) or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon wedges.
- (Clarified Butter Recipe: Gently melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Allow the butter to settle, then carefully skim off the foam and milk solids from the top. Pour the clear, golden clarified butter into a serving dish.)
