Steamed Lobster with Lemon-Herb Butter

Coleslaw and a great loaf of bread are all you need with this. (But don't forget a good bottle 
of white wine, too.)

Ingredients
6 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound live lobsters
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
Lemon wedges 

Directions
Cook lobsters in 2 large pots of boiling salted water until shells are pink and lobsters are just cooked through, about 11 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan. Add lemon juice and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve lobsters with lemon wedges and warm herb butter. Makes 6 servings.
