This is the way I do my tails, other methods work as well. Some sites are listed below. These sites are free, with no registration required. Just Google ';Prepare lobster tails';, and click on any site you wish.





Thaw your tails completely, but keep cold.





if you have kitchen shears, or a pair of sanitized scissors, cut the shell with those. Starting at the headless end, and toward the tail end, insert one blade of the snips under the shell on the underside, and snip a line from front to back, down the middle. Repeat this operation on the back part of the shell, with a line cut down the middle of the shell, leaving the meat unscathed as best as possible. This step will be a major aid in removal of the tails from the shell after cooking.





Now insert one or two bamboo skewers from one end to the other through the middle of the meat, to keep it from curling into it's natural shape, as it cooks. You are now ready to either broil, bake, steam, or barbecue your tails.





If barbecue, bake, or broil, baste with butter as they cook, and serve drawn butter in a side dish. Cook time is 5 to 7 minutes per side for larger tails. I believe someone has already given you a proper time table for cooking.





If Steam, put them into a colander over a pot of boiling water, or a proper steamer, and put a lid on it. Your time table will still remain. Just check sooner, and turn off heat if the tails are opaque.How do i cook lobster tail?
Make sure it's thawed, if not put it in warm water until thawed.





In the broiler


4-6 ounce lobster tail should take about 5-6 minutes.


10-12 ounce lobster tail should be cooked for 10-12 minutes.


14-16 ounce lobster tail for 12-15 minutes.





Us this only as a guide to cooking lobster tails, not as a “must-do.” When your lobster tails are opaque (not translucent) and firm to the touch, they are likely done. You could also consider using a cooking thermometer to verify.





Also sprinkle some paprika on them before broiling.
