Instructions
Prepare Clarified Butter: Melt the Unsalted Butter in a saucepan over low heat. Skim off the foam that rises to the surface. Continue simmering until the milk solids settle at the bottom and the butter is clear. Carefully pour the clear butter into a separate container, leaving the solids behind. Stir in the Lemon Juice, minced Garlic, and Smoked Paprika. Keep warm.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Lobster and cook for 12-15 minutes per pound.
While the Lobster is cooking, prepare the Side Dish. Boil the Yukon Gold Potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Steam or boil the Corn on the Cob for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Toss the cooked potatoes with chopped Chives.
Once the Lobster is cooked, remove it from the boiling water and let it cool slightly. Crack the Lobster and remove the meat.
Serve the Lobster with the Clarified Butter, Chive Potatoes, and Corn on the Cob. Sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning, Salt, and Black Pepper.
