How do you make lobster tails?

Cut back after boiling. Make sure to look up a good recipe because you can turn succulent, tender lobster into to rubber grossness if you overcook even a minute too long.

How Long to Cook Lobster Tails on the Stove top: Simmer lobster tails, uncovered, for 8 to 12 minutes or until shells turn bright red and the meat is tender when poked with a fork. For larger or smaller tails, adjust the cooking time as needed. Drain in a colander.

Step 2: Order meal and add a lobster tail

We prefer grilled with butter and garlic but doesn’t sound like your style. We also broil them in a similar style.

Either way, we split in half and pour butter over them.

When we used to boil them, we would cut or split the top to easily pull out. Makes for pretty presentation to.

Enjoy!

I grilled ours on Saturday night and we had 10 of them between the 3 of us. The one I had last night (Monday) tasted like an ash tray. It wasn't blackened but it had picked up a lot of smokey flavour from the BBQ and it tasted like cigarette ash would. It wasn't as good as the first night I made them. I don't quite understand that as it wasn't blackened but it sure tasted smokey.

I have boiled them in the past, too, and they turned out great. We got these gigantic ones from the fish store. Ex-dh took photos because the tails were so big.

The ones I had the other night and leftover last night were much smaller. They were still very good the first night. I paid $10 for 2 tails (it was a buy one get one free deal which is a good deal at my grocery store).

Oh, we boil them til bright red, crack them open and eat dipped in butter. You don't have to defrost.

I cut the shell and pull it to the sides. Brush with a small amount of butter and a small amount of salt, pepper, and paprika. Broil until opaque and serve with melted butter for dipping.

I picked up 2 at Whole Foods on Saturday and cooked them in my Instant Pot. I put 1 cup of water in the pot, Old Bay seasoning. Set the pressure to Manual for 3 minutes. Oh, I cut the hard bottom part before cooking. Cooked them shell side down on a trivet. Took them out and popped them out of the shell so easy. AND served them with clarified butter and steaks.

I can't even think of lobster without butter.

 I didn't know there was any other way!! Enjoy it! you'll have to tell us how it turns out! (steamed or boiled for my prefrence)

There..fixed it for you..😂😂😂

Naughty kitty! After it's cooked, let kitty try a little tiny piece. My cat loves lobster!

I cook tails in the oven at 400 degrees. I split the shell with a kitchen scissors and pull it up and lay it on the shell(for presentation purposes). A 4-6 oz. tail takes 8-10 minutes in my oven.
