Steps:

• Place potatoes and onion into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.
• While the potatoes are simmering, melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the cubed lobster, and cook until the edges begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes.

Once hot, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Steam the lobsters in 2 cups of boiling water for 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the steaming liquid. When cool enough to handle, remove the tail and claw meat.

Cover and smoke for 10 minutes. Cut the lobster meat into large chunks and set aside.

• Stir in the carrots, lobster meat, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the parsley. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with basil and serve immediately.
