Preparation
2 methods
1-Lobster
To cook lobster, bring a large pot of salted water (1 cup/250 mL per 40 cups/10 L) to a rolling boil. Drop lobsters in headfirst.
Once water is back to a boil, start timing: 10 minutes per pound (454 g) plus 2 minutes more per additional 1/4 lb. (115 g).
2- Court bouillon
Pour water into a large pot, add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
Pour court bouillon into a heavy-duty roaster. Remove grill on one side of the barbecue and place roaster with court bouillon on top of the briquettes.
Preheat barbecue to 400 °F (200 °C).
Place lobsters on top grill and steam with the cover down for 20 minutes.
Lemon-garlic Mayonnaise
In a bowl, blend egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
Add oil drop by drop, then in a thin stream, whisking constantly to emulsify.
Thin the mayonnaise with the second quantity of lemon juice.
Add a few drops of Tabasco. Adjust seasoning as needed.
