Steam your lobsters, don't boil them!

Boiling your lobsters, makes the meat of the lobster tough and chewy. It is always best to steam your lobsters in a large pot/steamer with about 1 inch of salted water for 12 mins for 1 lb. lobsters to 20 mins. for 2 lb. lobsters. Shells will turn a bright pink in color and the antanee will twist right off. It also helps if the lobsters are fresh (alive) not out of a tank. Sitting in a tank the lobster just grows tough with anthropy.
My wife and I had a great Valentines dinner today with "live" lobsters from lobster-s.com. Check out the web site. Now that is real lobster. Enjoy, we sure did!

Boiled Lobster with Pepper butter

I agree with the steaming versus boiling... Here's a tasty twist to steaming. Use half water and half of the most citrus-flavored Sauvignon Blanc you can find. it will add a great taste to the tails. If you're even more adventurous, you can also add about four to six cloves of fresh-pressed garlic to the water. yum.

This works well for steaming fresh clams, shrimp or even giant sea scallops.
