My friend Noura alRashed and I went to dean and deluca a while ago for grocery shopping. while we’re there, I stood in front of the lobster tank and tried to pick a lobster I’ll cook for my lunch.
;
Me: Noura, is there a wath7a in the tank?
and we spent the next 10 minutes picking a lobster we can call wath7a and we did :). I give names to live food I’m killing later on which is twisted I know but it gives them personality!
;
So I took wath7a home. placed her in the fridge in an open glass container with seaweed wrapped in a paper . waited till she went to sleep and took her out and cracked her head open with a sharp knife. I felt like a serial killer in the making. seriously!
;
before I cracked her head open, I boiled some water, with 1 lemon cut into 4 pieces and couple of cloves of garlic. once it started to boil, I cracked her head open and dropped her in the boiling water for exactly 10 minutes. Some like to boil it for 15 minutes but I think it’s just too much and it would become rubbery.
;
Take it out of the boiling water, cut the tail in half for easy access of the juicy meat and serve it with lemon butter.
;
The reason I cracked the lobster’s head open before boiling is because I didn’t want the lobster to suffer in boiling water. I think it’s inhumane. but you decide whether you want to do this or not :)

Bon Appetit!
