Preparation Tips
For best results, thaw lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator or submerge in cold water for 30–60 minutes, changing the water every 15 minutes. Once thawed, try one of these classic methods:
- Steamed: Arrange cut-side up in a steamer basket. Cook until plump, opaque, and tender—about 7–9 minutes for jumbo tails.
- Grilled: Split the shell with kitchen shears, season, and grill flesh-side down. Flip, brush with garlic butter, and finish cooking to perfection.
- Oven-Baked: Place in a baking dish, brush with butter and herbs, and bake until the meat is white, firm, and lightly browned.
