Boiled Lobster


Here is my recipe(?) for boiling lobster. When drowned it butter, it isn't the healthiest of meals. But lobster certainly does have health benefits. If you can skip the butter and eat it with say, just some fresh lemon juice, you will certainly reap the benefits. (Info from ArticlesAlley).
"Lobster is indeed an excellent source of lean protein. 100 grams of lobster meat contains 98 calories, 21 grams of protein, and only 0.6 grams of fat. Contrast that to 100 grams of white, skinless chicken meat which has 168 calories, 31 grams of protein, and 3.6 grams of fat. Gram for gram, even skinless chicken contains in excess of 500% more fat than lobster. Lean beef contains more than 10 times as much fat as lobster. Obviously, lobster is an excellent source of lean protein...Lobster is more than just a lean source of protein. Lobster also contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with good heart health. There are several valuable benefits from a diet which regularly contains Omega-3 fatty acids."

Boiled Lobster
  • Pot of water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 live lobster
1. Add salt and lemon juice to pot of water and place on stove over high heat. Bring water to a boil.
2. Place live lobster in boiling water, head first. Push to fit in pot, then place lid on pot. Boil for 10 minutes for the first pound and 3 minutes for each additional pound (when antenna pull out easily, lobster should be done).
3. Remove red lobster from pot and serve. Crack 'er open and ENJOY!
