I just like the pure taste of Lobster dipped in butter. When I had it fried, I was disappointed. I am sure Juan's recipe for fried lobster is better.
Does his chef outfit consist of an apron and speedo? If so, I can't make it that day.

One of the reasons lobster is so expensive is because way too many people have been brainwashed. Like some of its seafood cousins, it is all too often
eaten with garlic butter. Lotsa garlic butter. I know some folks who would eat my socks if they had enough garlic butter on them.

I hope you are. Word's out that the water-born drug cartel is going to have moving target practice in the area. Give'em a big smile so they have
someting to shoot at and don't forget to tell'em I sent you.
Come to think of it mikey, why don't you team up with that Mexicorn pest in Rob-me-arito who seems to have developed a hardon for me and we can get
it on and over with.
I'm right in the mood.

Al Vapor Preparation
No one here has mentioned asking for the lobster to be steamed.
If the lobster is squeaky fresh, grilling and the traditional flash frying are both excellent, delicious preparations, but after many years of living
"Puerto Nuevo" adjacent and having to take location-fixated visiting guests there, and after enduring many dry, freezer-burned, "traditionally"
prepared versions, a local friend suggested that I order my lobster "al vapor", especially when you don't know the kitchen and its standards.
He told me that it forced the restaurant to use the freshest product in the kitchen.
Fable or fact, I've been ordering the bugs this way ever since and it has worked for me.

I lived in Maine for a while and cooking lobster was a common pastime, given the low price at the time.
Your "squeaky" reference brought back memories of the kitchen when it came time to boil the "bugs" in the pot and they would be plunged in head first
so as not to hear the squeaks of pain that came from them.
I think that was one of my first realizations that torture isn't only for humans.

Dennis, I Feel Your Pain
As far as the lobster suffering issue.
If you do as the French chefs do, most notably Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, et al; cool the bug down so it is hypnotized, then take a sharp narrow
pointed instrument, like an awl, and plunge it quickly into the brain. This results in an instant, painless dispatch of the delicious creature
destined for dinner.

Only for a few minutes, otherwise you will be precooked and tough.

Just imagine that a giant stuck a knife between your eyes, or boiled you in oil, or ripped you in half, or steamed you over a pot of water. What
state would you think your muscles would be in before you expired? Tense, tight, correct. Well the same thing with a lobster. Try this process for
cooking lobsters and you will be surprised how succulent and tender the meat comes out.
Get a bowl and put about a quart of water in it. Add to the water a cup of wine, sherry, brandy, tequila, etc. Use smaller amounts for fewer
lobsters. Take a thirst lobster and poke his/her head into the elixir and let them take in all they want. Now you have a limp, drunk lobster flavored
inside with your favorite marinade. I usually place the lobsters in a steam basket, backs down (face up) to keep the marinade from coming out during
the cooking process. I also add the leftover water/alcohol mixture to the steam water. After cooking split open, drain lobster juices in a bowl, add
any of that green stuff to the saved lobster juices. Stain. Add to a fry pan over medium heat, reduce a bit. Taste and add more flavorings if
needed. Take off heat, add butter and put in a warmed gravy bowl. Serve lobster with gravy bowl, drawn butter, lemon/lime wedges and tabasco sauce.
