- Throw away solids.
- Lobster:Fill a 6-qt pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil.
- Plunge lobsters headfirst into water and boil, partially covered, about 9 to 10 min.
- Transfer lobsters with tongs to a colander and drain the lobster with the head down to remove excess liquid.
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, bring 1 c. of clarified butter with lemon juice, chives, salt and pepper just to a simmer.
- Set aside.
- Using kitchen shears, remove thin, hard membrane from underside of each tail by cutting just inside outer edge of shell.
- Crack claws and serve lobsters on a platter with clarified butter on the side.
- Spoon some butter over each lobster tail and serve remainder on the side.
- You'll need a good pair of kitchen shears to help crack the lobster shell. If you decide to serve the lobster with the 3 other dishes (PEI Clam Steam; Jicama, Carrot and Red Cabbage Slaw; Grilled Corn on the Cob with Sumac Butter) half a 2-lb. lobster per person is sufficient.
- Yield is 4 servings.
