To Broil a Live Lobster

Ingredients

Directions

  1. With a sharp knife cut quickly down the back, remove the intestines and stomach. Broil over a mod- erate fire for thirty minutes, shell side down. Spread a little butter over it when broiling to keep it moist. When done, break the claws, season with salt, pepper and melted butter.
