Lobsters are cheap by standards — so we make this a meal in itself anytime of the week. I use the recipe from the "Maine Lobster Council". Oh yummy, remember lobster's walk side-ways, and crabs walk straight. You will need a 4-5 gallon seafood, dutch oven, etc pot for steaming/boiling.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs lobsters (alive)
3 quarts water (3 qts. water per every 2 pounds of lobster)
1 large onion, roughly chopped in quarters
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
4 tablespoons sea salt
3 garlic cloves, smashed (lightly hit to open the clove a bit)

Directions

1
Fill pot with water to match pounds of lobster. (3 qts. per 2 pounds lobster).
2
Add seasonings, vegetable, and garlic.
3
Bring water to rolling boil.
4
Add live lobsters one at a time (if more then one), starting to time immediately. (10 minutes per pound for first pound of lobster, 1 minute per pound thereafter = 2 pound lobster= 12 minutes).
5
Do not cover.
6
Stir lobster half-way through cooking time.
7
Let lobster rest for a full five minutes to allow the meat to absorb the moisture from the shell.
8
Carefully remove and grab a bib.
