4 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh lobster tails
  • 1 salt
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp of butter

Directions

  1. 1
    Boil 4 to 6 cups of water
  2. 2
    Add lobster tails to boiling water and reduce heat to simmer
  3. 3
    Cook time: Simmer 1 minute per 1oz.
  4. 4
    So if your lobster tail is 5oz, leave in for 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    (This does not increase by quantity, if you are boiling 4 lobster tails, all at 5oz each, time in water will remain 5 minutes).
  6. 6
    As the lobster tails simmer, slice your lemon into 4 slices, and melt your butter in the microwave for 1 minute.
  7. 7
    Pull your lobster tails from water and use kitchen shears to cut them long ways.
  8. 8
    You just want to cut the shell, you can use a knife to cut the lobster evenly and spread apart for your butterfly effect.
  9. 9
    Do not cut all the way to the bottom shell, just a nice gentle slice ontop to spread apart the lobster will work nicely.
