Ingredients

4 servings:

Boil:

2 -3 whole live West Coast Spiny lobsters

2 -3 pounds of whole baby red potatoes, kept whole or quartered

4 ears fresh corn, shucked and cut in half or 3rds

4 large cloves garlic, slightly crushed

1/4 cup Kosher salt or sea salt

1 Tablespoon old bay seasoning

For the Herb Butter:

1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 Tablespoons fresh chopped herbs (thyme, dill, parsley or cilantro)

Sea Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large stockpot with water that is large enough to fill the lobsters. Add garlic, salt, and old bay seasoning to the water and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 5-8 minutes or until the potatoes begin to soften depending on the size of your potatoes.

Step 2

Place the live lobsters in the freezer for 10-20 minutes (this will put the lobster to sleep before boiling to humanely kill them).

Step 3

Add lobsters into the hot water, head first. Cover the pot and continue cooking the lobster for about 8 minutes or until the shells are bright red. Add the corn and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove lobsters and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes and corn from the pot.

Step 5

While the lobsters are cooling, make the herb butter. Heat small saucepan on medium heat. Melt butter, garlic and fresh herbs together until fragrant and bubbly. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Arrange the lobster, corn and potatoes on a larger platter or spread across a covered table. Use lobster shears or tools to remove lobster meat from the shells. Serve with the potatoes, corn, lemon wedges and melted garlic herb butter.
