Steamed Lobster
- 4 live lobsters (1 1/2 pounds each)
- 2 lemons, halved, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise, recipe follows
- 3 cups mayonnaise
- 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
- 2 handfuls chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fill a large steamer or soup pot, with about 2 inches of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Place the lobsters in the steamer basket or directly in the pot, cover, and allow to steam until they turn bright red, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the lobsters from the pot and cool to room temperature, and then chill thoroughly before cracking open.
- Serve with lemon wedges and Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Set aside to allow the flavors to marry.
- Serve as a dipping sauce with steamed lobster and poached shrimp.
