1. Pour water into a large pot to a depth of 1 inch; bring to a boil and salt generously. Add lobsters, cover and cook until bright red, 8–10 minutes.

3. Mix lobster, celery, lemon juice, chives, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and add more mayonnaise, if desired.
