Prepare the Lobster Tails
Start by thawing the lobster tails if they are frozen. Use kitchen shears to cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, exposing the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.

Boil Lobster Tails
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt to a boil. Once boiling, add the lobster tails and cover the pot. Boil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Remove from the water and let them cool slightly.
