Lemons, 2, cut into halves
Salt (Sea)
Live Lobsters, 3 (1 1/4 poumds to 1 1/2 pounds)
Mayo, 1/3 C
Butter, 7 tbs (Unsalted), melt
Hot Dog Buns, 6
Celery Leaves, 1/4 C, chopped roughly
Celary Salt, 1/4 Tsp
Squeeze 1 lemon into a large pot filled with 2-inches of water, add lemon halves, and one tablespoon of salt, bring to a boil on medium heat.
Place lobsters directly into pot, you may also choose to use a steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam lobsters until their shells are bright red in color (eight to ten minutes on average), and remove using tongs, rinse under cold running water.
Now it’s time to remove the lobster meat from the shells:
Use either a grill pan or large skillet, and heat over medium. Coat hot dog buns with remaining butter, and toast lightly until golden color. It should take about one minute each side. Portion out lobster meat into the buns, and garnish with celery salt and leaves.
