- 1 cup water
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 3 cups champagne
- 2 lobsters
- Pour the water into the bottom of a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper, and salt to the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the champagne and return the mixture to a boil. Place the lobsters in a steamer basket and lower into the pot. Steam the lobsters until they turn a bright red color, about 12 minutes.
