Bring 2 water to a simmer in a large stockpot. Add two 1 1/2-lb. live lobsters (yes, alive) and quickly cover potâwalk away if you need to. Steam lobsters until shells are bright red and meat is cooked through, 8â10 minutes. Remove from pot with tongs and let cool 5 minutes before cracking. Serve with melted unsalted butter.
Bring the water to a boil. Put in the live lobsters, one at a time, cover and bring the water to a boil again. Then, lower the heat and simmer about 15 minutes for a 1- to 1Â¼-pound hard-shell lobster and 20 minutes for a 1Â½-pound hard-shell lobster. If soft shell lobsters, reduce the cooking time by 3 minutes.
