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.
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.

- In a small saucepan, heat olive oil to medium heat. Add onion, cook for 30 seconds to a minute then add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how soft you like your onion & garlic).
- Add the white wine and cook for 1 minute before adding the butter. Add the butter and cook until melted (reduce heat to prevent boiling, if necessary). Add seasoning: dill and ground black pepper, stir to combine.
- Squeeze the lemon juice into the drawn butter mixture and continue to cook on low. We usually leave our drawn butter on low until we are ready to dish up our seafood. At that point, you can skim the fat that has risen to the top (if desired) or serve immediately.

- Fill a large steamer or stock pot with about 2 inches of water and toss in the salt, thyme, bay leaves, and the juice of 1 lemon. If a more emphatic lemon flavor is desired, go ahead and toss in the halves of 2 lemons. Bring to a boil.
- Place the lobsters in the steamer basket or directly in the pot, cover, and steam until the shells are bright red and the tail is curled, about 15 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let drain.
- Meanwhile, gently warm the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm it up gently so the milk solids begin to cook and sink to the bottom of the pot. Keep a close watch because once the milk solids collect and fall, they burn easily. Carefully pour the clear butter into a small dish, leaving the solids behind in the pan. (If necessary, strain the drawn butter to remove any pesky lingering solids.) Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into the drawn butter and stir in the parsley and basil.
