Carefully place the lobster tails into the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

Cool and Remove Meat

Remove the lobster tails from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, carefully remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of horseradish, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce. Stir well to combine.

Season the Sauce

Add salt and black pepper to the sauce to taste. Adjust the flavors according to your preference.

Assembly

Combine Lobster and Sauce

In a serving dish, place the chopped lobster meat and drizzle the cocktail sauce over it. Toss gently to coat the lobster in the sauce.
