steamed lobster
Hot cooked shellfish
Steamed lobster is lobster cooked by steam rather than boiled in water, considered by many to produce more tender, flavorful meat.
The dish is a signature of New England coastal cuisine, typically served whole with drawn butter: We ordered steamed lobster at the pier.
The cooking method also appears as a verb phrase: I steamed the lobsters for twelve minutes.
