Cooking frozen lobster? quick answer please!?

So I have 2 frozen lobsters (now thawed) that im cooking tonight, but im not exactly sure how. Do I basically just have to heat them up? Like boil them for a few mins till warm... or..? please help me, thanks so much!Cooking frozen lobster? quick answer please!?
Wish you asked this question before you thawed them, cause it would help to have a bit more time to go over some details. Are they whole lobsters or parts? Did you freeze them yourself? I've only seen parts frozen (ie Lobster tails). Since they should be cooked while alive, I'm wondering the history of yours.





If they were alive, I'd be agreeing with the other's who answered, since I think boiled/steamed is the best way to go. But since freezing changes the texture, I personally would likely opt for something with more seasoning and added flavor. But since you are cooking them tonight, there's not much time to find out what you have available or what type food you like. Two main styles that work well with lobster are Chinese and Italian. I adore a stir fried lobster in an oriental style, where you coat the lobster with cornstarch, create a light sauce (do you have any oriental/sauce type ingredients such as light soy sauce etc, sherry, chicken stock, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, etc?). You then quickly stir fry the lobster. In empty pan combine a variety of ingredients for the sauce....tons of options could help if I know what you had), garlic, green onions, ginger, and shallots. Stir fry, add drained lobster, mix and let thicken (the corstarch will help, plus adds a great texture to the lobster). That would be my first choice.





I could go on with other options, but it would really help to know what you have in the house, what type of food you like, how good your cooking skills are. And I still can't totally get back wondering if it's a whole lobster and if so how it came to be frozen lol. Also keep in mind that cooking times if boiling are VERY specific to the weight. An extra 2 or 3 minutes can make the difference between sweet and tender and chewy and tough!!!!





Good luck with it...lobster is SOOOOO yummy and hope yours eventually turns out that way!!





ETA when I was typing I see someone asked a good question....is the lobster raw! That would totally effect both how long to cook and what you might want to do with it! Remember overcooked lobster is tough and destroys it. Good way to tell if it's cooked is to see what color the shell is. If it's bright red it's been cooked.





If they are already cooked you might want to prepare a pasta to you liking, perhaps a garlic pasta. While it's cooking shell can cut the lobster meat then when the pasta is nearly finished add the lobster the last few minutes JUST long enough to warm it up, without cooking it more. Sure would help to know what you have and are working with!!!Cooking frozen lobster? quick answer please!?
You will need to thaw them out. If your in a hurry you can thaw them in a microwave.This is probably your only option. Traditionally, you would want to thaw them out by putting them in your refridgerator overnight.
You can boil it but it comes out a little better steamed
Frozen lobsters are usually already cooked. Can you call the store and find out?
Drop them into salted boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes, until they turn bright red.
