Salty Lou’s Simplest Way to Cook a Lobster

Salty Lou recommends steaming your fresh catch:

Fill your pot with approximately three to four inches of water (enough so it does not boil off), with the cover on.

Bring the pot of water to a full steam. 

Place your lobsters in, re-cover and bring back to a steam (just takes a few more minutes).

Once you have reached the second steam, time your cooking:

15 minutes for a 1.25 lb lobster,

18 minutes for a 1.5 lb lobster 

20 to 22 for a 2 lb. lobster.

Simple, delicious AND nutritious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
