Ingredients
- 4 live lobsters (1 1/2 pounds each)
- 2 lemons, halved, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise, recipe follows
- 3 cups mayonnaise
- 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
- 2 handfuls chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large steamer or soup pot, with about 2 inches of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Place the lobsters in the steamer basket or directly in the pot, cover, and allow to steam until they turn bright red, about 15 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the pot and cool to room temperature, and then chill thoroughly before cracking open. Serve with lemon wedges and Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend with a wooden spoon to combine. Set aside to allow the flavors to marry. Serve as a dipping sauce with steamed lobster and poached shrimp.
- Yield: 3 cups

Reviews
I tried to make it and it over cooked and was really bad
I served the lemon caper mayo with steamed shrimp this past weekend and it was a big hit. I wonder if it was taste good with canned tuna for a sandwich? I’ll have to try it.
i try this on Valentine’s Day, and it was real good. Maybe leave them for 3 more minutes than told. Also added 1 teaspoon of Shrimp boil, since we’re from the south. way to go Tyler
