A delightful way to enjoy fresh Maine lobster, steamed to perfection and served with a flavorful herb butter.
Fill a large pot with enough water to reach just below the steamer basket and bring it to a boil.
Ensure the water level is appropriate to prevent it from touching the lobsters while steaming.
Place the live lobsters into the steamer basket, cover the pot, and steam for about 15 minutes or until the shells turn bright red.
Avoid overcrowding the pot; steam in batches if necessary.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
Keep the heat low to prevent the butter from browning.
Serve the steamed lobsters immediately with the herb butter on the side for dipping.
Provide nutcrackers and forks for easy access to the lobster meat.
