Preparation Tips
- Cleaning: Rinse the lobster under cold water, scrubbing the shell lightly to remove any debris. Make sure to clean the underbelly and legs thoroughly.
- Cooking whole: To prepare the lobster whole, you can either steam or boil it. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the lobster for 12–15 minutes depending on its size.
- Splitting: For grilling or broiling, split the lobster lengthwise from head to tail. Remove the digestive tract and rinse the cavity.
- Removing meat: Use kitchen shears to carefully cut along the shell to remove the meat from the tail and claws. Be gentle to keep the meat intact.
- Cooking time: Lobster cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking. Grilling or broiling typically takes 8–10 minutes, with occasional basting in butter for added flavour.
- Flavouring: Classic seasonings such as garlic butter, lemon, and fresh herbs are perfect for enhancing the natural sweetness of the lobster without overpowering it.
