Lobster is a popular seafood choice that is often seen as a luxurious item, reserved for special occasions. However, it can actually be quite versatile and can be prepared in many different ways. Lobster is a healthy option, as it is high in protein and lower in fat. When cooking lobster, it is important to avoid over-cooking, as this can make the lobster tough and chewy. Lobster can be boiled, baked, steamed or grilled.

One common way to prepare lobster is to boil it and then serve it with drawn butter and lemon wedges. Another option is to bake lobster tails with a garlic butter sauce. For a healthier option, try grilling lobster for a smoky flavor and serving it with a fresh salad. It can also be baked with a variety of seasonings, herbs and spices.

Some popular lobster recipes include lobster bisque, lobster rolls (like this healthy recipe!) and lobster mac and cheese. There are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking with lobster, so get creative and experiment with different recipes. You might be surprised at how easy and delicious lobster can be.
