Learn to Prepare Your Own Seafood
Lobsters are a Cinch to Prepare
Everyone likes to eat lobster. It is considered a delicacy, but no one knows how easy it is to cook it! Most people also don’t realize that that lobster sold on the market has a black or bluish-brown color. That famous red color which is a sight to behold comes after you cook the lobster. If you want to try making your own lobster, here is a recipe you can try.
Here are the ingredients:
- 1½ pound lobsters (4)
- Sea salt
Recipe for Steamed Lobster:
- Start by fitting a large stockpot with a steaming basket. A helpful tip is to use an inverted metal colander. Alternately, you can use a round wire rack.
- Next, fill the pot with cold water just enough to cover the bottom of the steam basket.
- Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.
- You can cook the lobsters in batches, or place them together in the pot in a single layer
- Cook the lobster for around 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe For Boiled Lobster:
- Take a large stockpot that can hold around 4 gallons. Fill it three-quarters with cold water
- Bring the water to boil and add sea salt, two tablespoons. You can also coarse salt if you like.
- Place lobsters, headfirst, into the water one after another
- Leave pot uncovered, and cook for 15 minutes max. Enjoy!
See how easy that was! The recipe may be simple, but it takes a while to prepare your seafood in the right manner. Also remember that if your lobsters happen to be larger than 1½ pounds, it increases the cooking time. A good calculation is increasing cooking time by 1-2 minutes per quarter pound.
