One Pot Lobster & Assorted Veggies With Pesto Butter

• 2 lobsters, split down the middle lengthwise, rinsed (size is your preference, but I chose 2 big suckers)
• 1 lb fresh green beans
• 1 lb small red potato
• 4 -6 ears corn on the cob
• 13 cup sea salt, plus some (to flavor boiling water)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaf
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted (or raw, your choice. I just like to smokey flavor they add)
• 13 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (seriously, do not skimp here)
• 13 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes and brought up to room temp (again, don't be cheap. Buy the real stuff. Preferably sweet cream too)
• 14 teaspoon sea salt (I never measure salt or pepper so guesstimating on these)
• 12 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked

1. Prep a large stock pot with cold water, add salt and allow to come to a boil.
2. For the Pesto Butter: combine basil, garlic, pine nuts and Parmesan in a bowl or preferably a food processor; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. With the motor running, add the cubes of butter slowly until all is combined; set aside away from heat.
4. Can be Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
5. Just let it soften slightly before trying to use.
6. Too the pot of boiling water, add potatoes.
7. Let cook 10 minutes hen add corn.
8. Allow to cook until potatoes become folk tender but not mushy; about 20 minutes.
9. Add green beans and boil for 3-5 minutes, just to take the rawness out of them.
10. You want them to have that crunch-snap still.
11. Remove from heat and using a slotted spoon or handled strainer, scoop out veggies and set aside.
12. DO NOT drain water.
13. Return pot of water to stove and re-salt to taste (because the potatoes absorbed most of the salt durning cooking) and bring back up to boil.
14. Add the lobster halves and boil until fully cooked; about 12-20 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the lobster.
15. 12-15 minutes for 1 lb lobster, 15-20 minutes for a 1 1/2 pound lobster, 20-25 minutes for a 2-3 pound lobster.
16. Serve up a bit of each veg on a plate along side a half of the lobster.
17. Generously spread pesto butter on top of lobster and veggies.
18. ENJOY!
