Broiled Lobster, Plain

Procure three live lobsters one and a quarter pounds each; cut off the claws, crack the large ones with a cleaver, then split the bodies in two; clean off the heads and arrange the lobster halves on a double broiler. Season evenly with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon paprika. Baste with a tablespoon oil and broil on a brisk fire, cut part upward, for ten minutes; remove and set in the oven for ten minutes more.

When the lobsters are placed on the broiler have the claws on a tin and bake in the oven for twenty minutes. Remove both, arrange on a large hot dish, decorate with six pieces lemon and parsley greens and serve with half gill melted butter separately.
