There are a couple of different ways to do a lobster boil. The traditional way involves a full pot of water. I’m here to show you a different method. It’s more of a steam than a boil. It may take a little more finesse than dumping everything in the pot but it ensures you do not overcook the star of the dish, the seafood! Also this way more flavor stays in the lobster and doesn’t come out into the water. Keep in mind cooking times may vary depending on the size of pot and how many lobsters you have in your individual package.
Yield: Serves 4
Directions
- Add approx 2L of water to your pot. This will vary depending on the size of pot you use but you are looking to have enough water to just cover the top of the potatoes that will sit on the bottom..
- Add shallots, salt and garlic to the water and bring to a boil.
- Add potatoes to the pot first and bring water to a boil again as the temperature of the water will drop after adding potatoes
- Next add your Lobsters and sausage as the next layer. It is important to have a tight lid as we are steaming not boiling the lobsters. Cook for approx 10 minutes. I know it’s tempting but do not remove the lid. Don’t do it!! Ughhhh you did it didn’t you!
- Next add your corn (shucked and cut in half) and clams or mussels on top of the lobster layer. Place lid on again and cook for approx 5 minutes or until clams fully open.
- Drain your ingredients from the pot and stack into a beautiful pile.
- Drizzle corn and potatoes with melted garlic butter and old bay seasoning. After the lobsters and clams are removed for shells (use lobster bibs for protection) coat those in garlic butter and Effing Seasoning as well. Enjoy!
