Cold Water Lobster Tail Recipe

Prepare the Lobster

Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water.

Boil the Lobster Tails

Add the lobster tails to the boiling water. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque.

Prepare the Butter

While the lobster is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add paprika and stir well.

Remove and Cool

Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the water and let them cool slightly before handling.

Carve the Lobster

Using kitchen scissors, cut down the back of the shell and carefully pull out the meat, leaving it attached at the base.

Serve

Place the lobster tails on a serving plate, drizzle with drawn butter, and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
