Boil a pot of water large enough for all
tails to float in, add 1 tsp salt for each quart of water. Drop
tails in
boiling water and cook for about 1 minute per oz thawed (so 10 0z of tails needs to cook for 10 minutes). If you are cooking a lot of tails, add a minute or two on to
total time.
Cooking Lobster Tails in
Oven
Lobster tails can be baked or broiled in
oven. To cook thawed lobster in
oven,set
oven to 400 degrees F. Brush
tails with butter and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. If broiling, place
tails 4 or 5 inches from
heat and broil for 2 – 5 minutes. When broiling keep a very close eye on them so that they don’t burn on
tops.
Cooking Lobster Tails On The Grill
Oil
grill to keep
lobsters from sticking. Put
grill on medium heat. Brush
lobster tails with butter and place on
grill. Make sure that
tails do not burn – if there are any flames on
grill move
lobster away from it. Grill on each side for 4-5 minutes.
Take care not to overcook your lobster or it will be rubbery and tasteless. Lobster is cooked when it is no longer transparent.
