Lobster, once food of poor farmers, is now considered a special treat for many. Although some people prefer meaty claws, I think that lobster tails are best tasting part of this delicious creature. A great meal of lobster tails might seem like a gourmet feast to your guests, but they are actually quite easy to prepare.

If your lobster tails are frozen, you need to thaw them out (you can cook them frozen but they will not be as tender). Put them in fridge for 10 hours or so or thaw them in microwave on defrost – be very careful if you choose this method as you don’t want them to start cooking in microwave. After they are thawed, remove meat from shell by cutting open back of shell – split it down middle and open it up to reveal meat. Lift meat out – you can leave fan part of tail on for show or not.
