    This was GREAT! I used sea salt and organic unsalted butter, it gave the lobster a nice sweetness. I will use this again! Thank you!

    I like lobster with butter, but instead of lemon I use apple cider vinegar... I like it quite tangy, but you can add as much as you like until it is to your taste! Just make sure you mix it up well... I do add salt to the butter too. It gives the butter and any seafood a delicious flavor!

    Lobster perfection! We made these for lunch today. Boy what a treat! We did not salt and pepper it, but that is just personal taste. As far as the cooking method goes, the lobster meat was perfect! Thanks so much! We will use this one often!
