What each ingredient does
- Live lobster
- Provides the main protein, which sets firm and tender as the meat cooks through.
The step that matters
Broil slowly for 30 minutes. Lobster meat is protein that tightens as it heats. Cooking it too long squeezes out moisture, leaving the meat dry and tough, so a slow broil with attention to doneness matters.
