Ingredients:
water
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 (1- to 1 1/4-pound) live lobsters
clarified butter
Directions:
1. Place a steamer rack in a large stock pot and add water to a depth of 1/2 inch below rack. Add vinegar and mustard; bring to a boil. Grasp each lobster just behind the eyes and place on rack. Cover with a tight fitting lid. Steam over high heat 12 minutes. (Do not remove lid during steaming procedure.) Lobster will be bright red when done.
