If Cooking Lobster Seems Daunting, This Malaysian Casserole Is the Perfect Place to Start

Never cooked a lobster before? This Malaysian Casserole recipe from Burger & Lobster shows you how to do it in the tastiest way. Just follow these preparation instructions then get stuck into the recipe below...

Place the point of a sharp knife toward the top of the lobster's head with the sharp part of the blade facing away from the tail. Very quickly stick the knife into the lobster's head and slice downward bringing the sharp blade through the head to the work surface. Now cut the lobster the other way down the body and tail so you have to long halves. Remove all the black and green goo and other membranes.

Cooking lobster is an art, and if you do not get the timing just right (15 minutes maximum), you might be in for a tough or chewy lobster. Never overcook your lobster. This makes the meat tough and stringy.
