  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 (1 1/4-lb) live lobsters

Garnish:

  • lemon wedges
  • sea salt

Recipe Method

1. Mince and mash garlic to a taste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with butter and parsley.

2. Plunge lobsters headfirst into a large pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) and cook, covered, 3 minutes from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a plate and let stand 5 minutes. (Lobsters will not be fully cooked.)

3. Lightly crack claws, then split lobsters lengthwise and discard innards from the body cavity.

4. Remove tail meat from 1 lobster and cut crosswise into 8 pieces. Spread about 2 tablespoons garlic butter in one empty half shell, then fill that shell with all of sliced lobster and dot with 1 tablespoon garlic butter. Spoon about 5 tablespoons garlic butter into other empty half shell (for dripping). Repeat with remaining lobster.

5. Bake in preheated pan until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
