Simple Lobster Tail
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil 4 to 6 cups of water
- Add lobster tails to boiling water and reduce heat to simmer
- Cook time: Simmer 1 minute per 1oz.
- So if your lobster tail is 5oz, leave in for 5 minutes.
- (This does not increase by quantity, if you are boiling 4 lobster tails, all at 5oz each, time in water will remain 5 minutes).
- As the lobster tails simmer, slice your lemon into 4 slices, and melt your butter in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Pull your lobster tails from water and use kitchen shears to cut them long ways.
- You just want to cut the shell, you can use a knife to cut the lobster evenly and spread apart for your butterfly effect.
- Do not cut all the way to the bottom shell, just a nice gentle slice ontop to spread apart the lobster will work nicely.
