Broiled Lobster

Boil the lobster as directed. When cold take off the claws and separate the tail and body, without breaking the shell ; remove the meat in as large pieces as possible. Clean the shell and wipe dry. Arrange it prettily on a dish, garnish with salad leaves or parsley, dotted with quarters of lemons. Now place the meat of the lobster on a wire broiler, baste with melted butter, dust with salt and pepper, and broil quickly over a clear fire. Put it at once into the shell, pour over a little melted butter, and serve very hot.
