Boil and broil lobster casserole

Tonight we were blessed to have a quiet and uneventful evenings.

Easy lobster casserole, baked potatoes , Cole slaw and some fresh bread.

I could not ask for a better evening.  Miss my family but life must go on.

Everyone is safe , well and happy so we have  no complaints just plenty of grace and gratitude.

Merry Christmas!

***Lobster casserole.

Boil frozen lobster tails in vinegar and red pepper for 15 minutes after lobster tails have turned red.

Remove and drain lobster on paper towels until cooled.  Remove shells.

Note:  FYI: to remove shells.

I boil my lobster tails, drain and allow to cool.  I then crack the shell (I press down on side of tail using a clean dish towel )and the lobster removes from the shell easily.  In a separate pan I place 1stick of butter, 2 minced or i tsp. Garlic powder,1tsp. Dried Parsley and a pinch of paprika.  Simmer until the Butter is melted.

In a casserole I place tails. Pour butter mixture over tails and place in oven not too close to coils.  Broil for a few minutes making sure to not allow  the Tails to brown too much.  You can sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs if desired watching carefully not to burn the crumbs.

Place shelled lobster tails in baking dish and pour butter mixture over tails 

Broil on lower rack until slightly browned.

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!

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)
