Lobster

1. Prepare a large pot and fill it with water. Add salt and bring it to a boil.

2. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the lobster. Ensure that the lobster is fresh and alive. Never use a dead lobster as it may cause food poisoning.

3. Holding the lobster by the tail, gently lower it into the boiling water. Be careful to protect your fingers and hands to avoid steam or lobster burns.

4. Boil the lobster in the boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, depending on its size. Cooking time may vary, so it's best to check whether the meat and shell are fully cooked. When the lobster is ready, its shell will turn a bright red color.

5. Once the lobster is cooked, carefully remove it from the water and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly before starting to remove the meat.

6. To remove the lobster meat, you can use special lobster crackers or a sturdy knife. Carefully open the shell and extract the meat, paying special attention to the tail, claws, and knuckles.

7. You can serve the lobster meat on its own, with a salad, or in another recipe. If desired, you can lightly drizzle it with melted butter and lemon juice, then sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and chopped parsley.

8. Serve the lobster immediately while it's still warm and fresh.
