How Do You Cook Steamed Lobster?
To cook a steamed lobster, first, fill a large pot with enough water to cover the lobster completely, and add a tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to boil. Add the live lobster to the pot, headfirst, and cover the pot tightly with a lid. Steam the lobster for around 8-12 minutes for a one-pound lobster, depending on the size. Let it cool for a few minutes before removing the claws and tail. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges, if desired.
