Getting freaked out by the live lobster in your kitchen

One of the most common and understandable errors people make when preparing lobster? They are intimidated once they see it in person. Lobsters can grow to be quite large, and when they're moving around and making noise, you may begin to regret every circumstance that resulted in that lobster being in your personal space.

The color of the lobster is another factor that can "throw people off". While cooked lobsters have red shells, live lobsters have dark green shells. But don't worry; once cooked, your lobster will look exactly like you're used to. Taking on a new cooking project is always a challenge, but as long as you keep that buttery lobster at the end in mind, you'll be fine.
