Best Boiled Lobster Tails

Regardless of whether or not you steam lobster tails,
or cook them on the grill, you are guaranteed that
your efforts will turn a regular meal into a gourmet affair.
As long as you follow the recipe instructions properly
specifically the cooking time and temperature
the integrity of the meat will not be compromised.
To ensure that the meat is as tender as possible,
be sure to thaw frozen lobster tails
for at least six hours in the refrigerator,
or seal them in a plastic bag and place
them in warm water for an hour.
Boiling is one of the simplest ways to prepare lobster tails.


Fill up a large stockpot with water
and add a few teaspoons of salt.
Add lobster tails one at a time,
making sure you don’t overcrowd the pot.
Bring to a boil.
Lower heat
and cook for one minute per ounce
(e.g. six ounce lobster tails should cook for six minutes).
Remove lobster tails from water
and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
