Lobster Tail anyone!!!

Re-post because lobster tail is a holiday favorite!!! 

Enjoy!

2022 Tonight’s lobster tail preparation.

****My tails were slightly larger  so I boiled the frozen tails for 20 minutes after I had returned them to a rapid boil after amercing them in water. 

2022 Christmas Eve!








How to Prepare a great lobster tail.

Note:  I am using frozen cold water lobster tails in this recipe! I prefer cold water tails and always use them.


I was going through some of my pictures and thought this illustration might be of use to those who like lobster tail and hesitate to prepare it because you may think it is difficult..

Hubby and I love it and we don't indulge very often but when we both crave some we buy some good quality lobster at our local market or I have bought it at Costco or Sam's.  Here is how I do it and it is tender and buttery with no fishy taste or grisly bits which I have come across at a few restaurants where they only broil their lobster tails. Hope you find this helpful!

 Happy Baking and Cooking from my kitchen to yours!

Delicious and cooked perfectly!


Place lobster tail in a large pot and cover lobster with cold water..Add 1 tsp. red pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon vinegar

Bring to a boil and turn heat down to a low boil and simmer for approximately ***15 minutes depending on size of tails..  Note:  Lobster tail will change color from dark to deep reddish color


Remove with tongs from water..Rinse off in cool water.  Set aside to cool for a few minutes.


 Place tail on sturdy surface (cutting board) and press firmly down with a large serrated knife to crack shell


You will now have two pieces


Using a pastry brush , brush tail with melted butter, sprinkle with paprika and broil until bubbly (just a few minutes)
