what’s the best way to cook lobster?

Already cooked lobster meat can be used in this recipe. Or you can cook the lobsters yourself. It’s actually really easy.
Steaming lobsters is my preferred method of cooking. Boiled lobsters tend to be more watery as the water penetrates the lobster shell.
To steam lobsters, to a large stock pot, add about 3 inches of cold water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Add the whole lobsters to the pot. Cover the pot. Bring the water back to a boil then start your timer.
Steam the lobsters. 1 ¼ pound lobsters take 8 – 9 minutes to cook. 1 ½ pound lobsters take 11-12 minutes to cook.
Using tongs, remove the lobsters from the pot to a large bowl. After they cool a bit, remove the meat from the lobster shell. It’s ready to use in the recipe.
recipe instructions
The combination of ingredients in this lobster noodle dish create a unique blend of flavors and textures offering a delightful culinary experience.
Hint: The amount of lobster meat in a lobster can vary throughout the year. Hard shell lobsters contain more meat as compared to soft shell lobsters. Ask your fishmonger if the lobsters are hard or soft shelled. You may need to pick up an extra lobster for the recipe if they’re soft shelled.

Store any lobster noodle leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These meal prep containers are my favorites. I don’t suggest freezing this recipe as it doesn’t hold up well.
