Instructions

1. Select a fresh, live lobster that moves vigorously and has a curved tail.
2. Hold the lobster by the back and brush it thoroughly under cold water, keeping the rubber rings on the claws.
3. In a large pot on medium-high heat, combine 3 liters of water, 2 tablespoons salt, 4 peeled and quartered shallots, 10 grains of pepper, and 1 tablespoon caraway seeds. Bring to a boil.
4. Head-first, immerse the lobster into the boiling water.
5. Once the water returns to a boil, reduce heat to medium and maintain a gentle simmer without rolling boils.
6. Cook for approximately 10 minutes for the first 500g of lobster, then add 5 minutes for each additional 500g. The shell will turn completely red when cooked.
7. Remove the lobster from the water and drain well.
8. Remove the rubber rings from the claws and serve with dill flowers.
