Prepare the lobster: Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add 2 tbsp of salt per quart of water.

Cook the lobster: Carefully place the live lobsters headfirst into the boiling water. Cover and cook for 8-12 minutes (8 mins for 1 lb, add 3 mins per additional 1/2 lb).

Make the butter sauce: While lobster cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Drain and cool: When lobsters turn bright red, remove from water with tongs and let drain in a colander for 2 minutes.

Serve: Place lobsters on a serving platter with lemon halves. Serve immediately with warm butter sauce on the side.

Eating guide: Twist off claws and crack with a lobster cracker. Split the tail with kitchen shears and remove meat. Dip in butter sauce and enjoy!
