Score of the Day
I went to the grocery store this morning and as I walked past the fresh fish department I noticed the 5 oz lobster had a price of $11.99 per pound. So I asked if the price was correct , per pound. I was told no the price should have been each. Well, the store manager gave me four of them at $11.99 per pound. SCORE!
Now, how do I cook them so they are not tough?

This is what I do:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
.
1. Rinse tails under cold water. I am assuming these are tails with the shell on.
2.Take a large pointed knife and drive it in the tail lengthwise. Once in, I use my weight to split the tail lengthwise all the way up and down the tail.
3. Open the tails slightly to get to the meat and season (I use Emirils Bayo Blast and Lawrey's lemon pepper)
4. Take 2 pats of butter and cram them in the center and close the split tail.
5. Take a large piece of foil and creat a packet with the lobster inside. Don't wrap tightly cuz you want the steam to cook it. Makes it moist.
6. Place packet on a baking sheet and put in pre-heated oven for about 13-15 minutes.
7. While cooking I take 1 tblsp of butter and melt it with about 1-2tblsp fresh (or concentrated) lemon juice and a little pepper.
8. When done open packet, extract the meat from the split shells and enjoy!!

That was a serious score! I have cooked lobster several different ways - just the tails as well. Let me give you a URL that should help out -
www.lobsterhelp.com/cooking-lobster-tails.html
that site should tell you how to boil, braise, bake, steam (insert Forrest Gump here)
Enjoy that langosta - I'm jealous.
