Teaspoon Lawry's Season Salt (sprinkle)
Teaspoon Black Pepper (sprinkle)
Teaspoons Curry Powder (a total of 6 teaspoons will be needed)

1 Stalk Scallion

1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper (Optional)
½ Cup Boiling Water
½ Cup Olive Oil (or 2 Tablespoon margarine)
16 Inch Cast Iron Pot

Prep Time: 10 minutes. 
Cook Time: 25-30 minutes.

Instructions: Steam your live whole lobsters until the color changes to pink. Then allow to sit and cool, and remove from their shells. You can skip this step if you purchased pre-cooked lobster tails.

Chop your lobster tails and claws into bite size, or leave them whole, then place them into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle all of the above powdered seasonings (except the curry powder) onto the lobster and rub into the lobster. Then add 3 teaspoons of curry powder into the bowl and rub over the lobster. Chop your onion, scallion and thyme and leave on your cutting board.  

Heat oil in your cast iron, then add 3 teaspoons of curry powder to the hot oil. Stir with a fork until all the powder have melted into the pot.

Next, add your chopped lobster. Stir with a fork. Then add your chopped scallions, onions, and thyme, and pimento seeds. Stir and cover the pot and allow to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.

Then add your ½ cup of boiling water to the pot and your scotch bonnet pepper. Cover and allow to cook on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with steamed white rice. Or, any other provisions you wish.
