Steps:
- Bring 12 cups cold water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a lobster pot or large, wide stockpot.
- Pick up each lobster firmly, holding the back of the body behind the claws. Add 2 to 4 lobsters to pot; they should fit snugly, but not be stacked. Cover, and cook for 18 minutes. Remove, and repeat with remaining lobsters. Let cool slightly before cracking and removing meat, about 10 minutes.
- Heat butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, skimming solids that rise to surface. Season with salt, then pour into small ramekins or a large dish, leaving behind any solids on the bottom; a clear, golden liquid will be left. Keep butter warm.
- Place 1 lobster on a cutting board. Twist tail from joint where it meets the body. Cut tail in half down center, keeping shell halves intact. Pull each tail half from its shell, and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick medallions. Arrange cut pieces in shells. Twist claws from body, and discard body. Separate claws from knuckles. Crack knuckles, and remove meat. Discard knuckle shells. Grasp "thumb" of claw, and bend it back to snap it off. Crack claws, and remove meat. Discard claw shells. Repeat with remaining lobsters.
- Arrange lobster pieces on a platter, and serve with butter and lemon.

Steps:
- Place the butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute.
- Set the saucepan aside and let the butter settle, undisturbed. The milk solids will come to the top of the butter and the watery whey will collect on the bottom. Skim off the milk solids with a spoon and pour the drawn butter into a serving bowl or several small ramekins, taking care not include the watery liquid in the bottom of the pan. Serve.
DRAWN BUTTER
Best made a day ahead, this is a great complement to steamed king crab or broiled lobster tails. Any leftover butter can be frozen for future use.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, 5 to 7 minutes. Set the melted butter aside to cool slightly, then skim the foam off the top and discard. Allow the butter to solidify overnight. Drain off any liquid that collects at the bottom. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, and pour into individual bowls before serving.

LOBSTER WITH BASIL-LEMON BUTTER
Steaming and preparing a lobster is really very simple if you know the right technique. This fresh, simple compound butter of fresh herbs, lemon, and shallot is a great way to enhance the sweet flavor of lobster.

Steps:
- Add enough water to a large pot to fill it a third of the way-enough to steam, but not fully submerge the lobster-and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, make the compound butter by placing butter, herbs, shallot, salt, a few grinds of pepper, and zest in bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, adding water 1 spoonful at a time if necessary to loosen and blend properly. Add lemon juice and process again to combine. Transfer seasoned butter to small container, cover, and hold at room temperature. (Note: Butter can be made in advance, refrigerated, and brought back to room temperature for serving.)
- When water has boiled, add sea salt, approximately one handful for each quart of water. Add whole lobster and steam for 5 minutes.
- Remove lobster from pot using a large slotted spoon or tongs. When cool enough to handle, break down the lobster in this order, placing each piece of meat gently on a plate: First, remove the claws. Then separate the tail from the head. Break the thick leg attached to the claw into two pieces at the joint, using the kitchen counter as leverage. Break the claw into two pieces, loosening at the joint. Split claw open with back of a chef's knife, and twisting at 90 degree angles. When the claw has cracked open, pull out the claw meat whole. Repeat with other claws.
- Lay each tail on its side and press down to crack; do not smash. Use thumbs to pull shell away, and gently pull the tail out whole. Trim away any ragged, small pieces of meat (and reserve for another use). Break down the elbows by gently cracking the shell with the back of a chef's knife in several places and peeling it away. Gently scrape the albumen from the meat.
- To finish, use the back of a spoon to smear some compound butter on the side of the plate. Slice lobster tail in half lengthwise, and arrange with other lobster pieces on the plate. Garnish meat with an additional dollop of butter, sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
