The Recipe
Tips for cooking lobster: Lobsterman Mike Theiler says, if at all possible, steam them in sea water for best flavor. He also suggests adding sherry to the melted butter. I believe in steaming lobster, not boiling. Dip in saffron-lime butter: For each lobster, melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in a pinch of saffron threads, a pinch of salt, and the juice of 1/2 lime. Dip away!
