　　This one-pot meal—lobster, corn, and green beans—conjures summer in New England. The simple sesame mayonnaise is outstanding for dunking and slathering.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　3/4 to 1 pound trimmed green beans

　　4 ears shucked corn

　　4 (1 1/4-to 1 1/2-pounds) live lobsters

　　2/3 cup mayonnaise

　　1 teaspoon soy sauce

　　1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

　　

Step 1

Cook green beans and corn in an 8-to 10-quart pot of salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter and return water to a boil.

　　

Step 2

Plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into boiling water and cook, partially covered, over medium-high heat 8 minutes (for 1 1/4-pound lobsters) to 9 minutes (for 1 1/2-pound lobsters) from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a colander to drain. Return water to a boil and cook remaining lobsters.

　　

Step 3

While lobsters cook, whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

　　

Step 4

Serve lobsters with green beans, corn, and sesame mayonnaise.
