Classic Boiled Lobster with Citrus-Spice Broth
  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with water and add the onions, garlic, lemons, oranges, celery, black pepper, seasoned salt, and jalapeño peppers. Bring to a rolling boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the lobsters and cover the pot with a lid. Boil until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque, about 15 minutes (depending on the size of your lobsters).

  3. 3

    Take the lobsters out of the pot and set them in a colander under cool running water to stop the cooking.
