My wife and I went to Boston for our 7th anniversary, and we had Legal Sea Foods’ lobster rolls twice while we were there. They were unreal good there!
I’m always thinking, how can I do this at home for cheaper. Well, my local Harris Teeter had live lobster on sale for $9.99 a pound, so I had to! I bought 3 lobsters between 1 and 1.25 pounds.
This evening, I got my Gator Pit Jet Burner out and my early Christmas gift of a massive 100 quart stock pot with a steamer basket. Fired it up, and started steaming in about 10 minutes. Plopped the lobsters in and cooked for 11 minutes. Took them out to a bright red! Dissected them on a cutting board, and next time, I’ll have more paper towels b/c they are very juicy! Got the meat out and put them on some hoagie rolls. The hoagie rolls were loaded with lobster meat, but had enough for 4 sandwiches. Enough to enjoy! The ones in Boston were absolutely loaded. This was my first time, so maybe I’d buy another lobster. I just wasn’t sure of the yield.
Tossed in some garlic butter I melted on the stove. Salt. Pepper. Some Parsely. Bingo! They were great! But always room for improvement, right?
