Prep the Lobster

Begin by cooking the lobster. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the live lobster to the pot, cover, and cook for about 8-10 minutes per pound. Once cooked, remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, remove the meat from the claws, tail, and body.

In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, diced celery, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together gently, ensuring the lobster meat is well coated with the creamy mixture.
