Maine Lobster Boil with Drawn Lemon Butter

1. 1

   Make a tasty cooking broth by combining the water, thyme, and bay leaves in a very big pot.

2. 2

   Squeeze the lemon juice into the water and then drop in the empty rinds.

3. 3

   Bring the pot up to a high boil.

4. 4

   Plunge the lobsters into the boiling water, cover, and boil for 15 minutes.

5. 5

   The lobster shells will be bright red and the tails will be curled when they are done.

6. 6

   While the lobsters cook, make the lemon butter.

7. 7

   Heat the butter in a small pot over low heat.

8. 8

   Warm it up gently so the milk solids begin to cook and sink to the bottom of the pot.

9. 9

   Keep a close watch because once the milk solids collect and fall, they burn really easily.

10. 10

    Strain the clear butter into a small serving cup, leaving the solids behind, and give a squeeze of lemon juice.
