Cooking Lobster Question

[sr71blackbird]

For Christmas dinner, my father got a bunch of lobster tails, and he doesnt really know the best way to prepare them. Anyone have any techniques or recipes they can share with me?


I need start to finish, the ones he has are frozen and cryopack sealed.

Thanks

here is a good technique. Take the frozen tails, open package, throw in garbage

get in car, drive to store, buy fresh lobsters

When you get through this step ill give you the rest

That Idea sucks that would be wasteful...Not to mention the gas money...OK tell me are they cold water lobsters or warm water ones....

Come on guys... Do you just boil them, or put them under a broiler or what?
If it was me, Id get the whole live lobster, but he bought them in Costco and since he has them, whats the best way. He has like six of them and its just the tails, frozen.

Exactly! You have to boil the fuckers alive and hear them scream or they'll taste like shit.

Cooking Instructions:
1. Defrost tails and par boil for no more than 3 minutes & cool. Plunge tails into a bowl of cold water or ice to stop the cooking process.
2. Place tails shell side down on a cutting board and take a sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears and cut from one end to the other. Be careful not to cut all the way through. To keep lobster tail from curling during cooking, crack upper shell so tail is flat. Brush tails with garlic butter (see below).
4. Grill tails on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on a clean, well oiled grate to prevent sticking. Baste lobster meat with garlic butter. Cooking lobster shell side down will keep the juices in the shell, keeping the meat moist. Grill on the meat side for no more than a minute. DO NOT overcook.
5. Garnish with parsely and serve with garlic butter and lemon wedges.
Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in a small dish in the microwave, or warm in a small pan and remove from heat. Mince the garlic or use a garlic press to mince the garlic and add to warm butter. Wisk one tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice

May I recommend wooden skewers. If you are boiling, if you wan the tails to stay straight you will need em
