Steamed Lobster Tails
Print This Recipe
Lobster is such a decadent food and perfect for any special occasion. The first time I made it was for my husband on Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. Living in San Francisco, we have access to great lobster tails and when they are on sale, it is such a delicious treat. Although fresh lobster tails are best, I have tried frozen and been pleased as well. Just allow them to defrost before you cook them.
In a large skillet, (that has a lid) over medium heat, bring a 1/2 cup water to boil. Add to the skillet:
2 rinsed and butterflied lobster tails, seasoned with salt and pepper
Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook about 8-10 minutes or until lobster tail turns a bright red and curls. Do not overcook. Serve with hot, melted butter. I usually serve 2 tablespoons of butter with each tail.
Serves 2
