First, pick out a lobster. He will be alive, and you can store him in the fridge until you're ready to cook!
Put an inch or two of water in a big pot, and add a generous amount of salt and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice. Bring to a boil, and then, after cutting the bands off the lobster, put him in head first. Cover with a lid.
Cook for about 13 minutes per pound. The easiest way to know if he's done, is to invest in a meat thermometer, and cook to 160 degrees.
While the lobster is cooking, prepare a buttery dipping mixture for the meat. Use 1/2 stick butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh parsley, and garlic salt to taste.
Sooo yummy. Enjoy!
