I'll never forget the first time I had my first broiled lobster. It was one of my first dates . . . he ordered lobster and I thought I would order the same thing.
When the waiter presented us with our meal, he also handed us nut crackers and bibs. I didn't have the slightest idea what to do with this whole lobster sitting in front of me.
So I watched my date eat his lobster and tried to do what he did. I made such a mess!
Needless to say, I never ordered a lobster at a restaurant again, but I do love to make a mess with a lobster in the comfort of my home.
The recipe comes from my personal collection.
Ingredients:
3 gallons water
2 large onions, quartered
10 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
2 lemons, quartered
2 oranges, quartered
5 stalks celery, quartered
4 tablespoons black pepper
4 tablespoons seasoned salt
6 fresh jalapeno peppers
2 fresh live lobsters
Directions:
Pour the water into a large pot and add the onions,
garlic, lemons, oranges, celery, black pepper, seasoned salt
and jalapeno peppers.
Bring to a full rolling boil and boil for 20 minutes.
Add the lobsters and place a lid over the pot.
Boil for 15 minutes.
Remove the lobsters from the pot, and place in a
colander under cool running water to stop the cooking.
Serve.
