BOILED LOBSTER TAILS

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Boiling is convenient when making surf and turf it’s easy to coordinate cooking times to serve the steak and lobster hot at the same time.

  2. Gently thaw lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator. To prevent lobster tails from curling, run a wood or metal skewer lengthwise through each tail.

  3. Fill a pot large enough to cover the lobster tails with water and bring to a rolling boil.

  4. Reduce to a simmer and add salt – about a tablespoon per quart.

  5. Add the 6 to 7 oz. tails to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Check the internal temperature (you can insert in the thin underside) and target 140°F. Do not overcook.

  6. Immediately remove lobster tails from the boiling water and immerse in cold water or place on a bed of ice to stop them from cooking.

  7. Serve with melted butter. Feel free to add crushed garlic or lemon juice to the butter for a flavor boost. A sprinkling of chopped parsley or chives adds a pop of color and freshness.
