Lobster Boil

I believe this recipe came from Cottage Country's bbq chef on the tv series way back when. His name was Ted Reader now known as the BBQ King - with spices and sauces and cookbooks attributed to his success. I saw Ted cook this on a show, found the recipe years later in one of his earlier cookbooks I believe, and copied it. Have always wanted to try it and with a birthday coming up in a few weeks, decided this was the party meal. I searched Zaar because I thought I would never find that little pc of paper but lo and behold tonite, I looked in the filing system I had in place way back when and found it. So posting it right away, just in case I lose it before the birthday!
