For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a sprig of fresh thyme to the boiling water. Ensure the lobsters are alive just before cooking for the best quality and taste. Do not overcook the lobsters, as this can result in tough, rubbery meat. Serve immediately with drawn butter, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.
