Broiled Lobsters Recipe

Instructions

1. Kill lobsters by cutting tails off with one stroke of the knife, just where they join the body.
2. With another clean cut divide each lengthwise into 2 equal parts, shell and all.
3. Take out coral, the one long intestine and stomach.
4. Crack claws with a hammer.
5. Put within a vegetable shorteninged broiler, split side downward, and broil over fire.
6. As soon as juice begins to run freely withdraw long enough to baste liberally with melted vegetable shortening, and return to fire, turning often to keep in juices.
7. Cook about 10 minutes on split or flesh side, and 8 upon other.
8. Have ready sauce made by rubbing 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening to cream with lemon juice and finely-minced parsley, adding little red pepper, and baste lobsters with this while hissing hot.
9. Serve half lobster to each guest.
