Steamed Lobster Tails

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
