Preparation

Step 1

Fill a large stock pot with hot water, add the quartered lemon and bring to a boil over high heat. Plunge the live lobster into the boiling water, cover with a lid, and lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer until bright red, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, and immediately plunge into a sink full of very cold water. Let set for 2 minutes. Remove from the cold water, set in a colander, and let drain 30 minutes. While the lobster is cooking and cooling, prepare the rest of your ingredients. Once the lobster has drained remove the shell, and chop the meat into medium size chunks. Remove as much as the white, firm flesh from the body of the lobster as well; don’t waste these sweet morsels.In a medium bowl, gently fold the lobster together with the rest of the ingredients; except the hot dog buns. Before serving, butter the buns, and gently toast over a hot grill or a pan grill on the stove. Fill the buns with the lobster mixture. Serve. Eat.
