Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Lobster Tails
Begin by thawing the lobster tails if they are frozen. Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top of the shells, stopping just before the tail fan. Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell, keeping it attached at the base, and lay it on top of the shell.

Season the Lobster
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the lobster meat.

Steam the Lobster Tails
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket in the pot and arrange the lobster tails in the basket. Cover and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
