- 4 lobsters
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter
- 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh-ground black pepper
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the lobsters, covered, until just done, about 10 minutes after the water returns to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium stainless-steel saucepan, melt the butter. Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Divide the butter among four small bowls. Serve the lobsters with the pepper butter for dipping.
