HOW TO COOK: STEAMED LOBSTER TAILS
Rich, versatile lobster tails are simple to steam for speedy weeknight meals. Cooking lobster in its shell imparts great flavor and helps the tail keep its shape, plus it's easier to remove the cooked meat from the shell. If using frozen lobster tails, thaw them in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.

Steps:
- Use a sharp knife to cut each tail in half lengthwise.
- Rinse tails briefly under cold water to remove any grit or shell fragments.
- Bring 1 inch water to a boil in a large pot or deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
- Place a steamer basket over water. Place tails, cut-side up, in the basket.
- Cover and steam until meat is just opaque and very plump, 5 to 6 minutes; do not overcook or meat will begin to shrink and dry out.
- Serve warm with sauce of choice: Try melted butter with lemon or garlic, an herb sauce like chimichurri or a soy sauce-based Asian dipping sauce; just make sure the flavors are not too strong or too sweet or they will overwhelm the natural flavor of lobster.
- You can also cool and dice tail meat and use it for lobster salad or lobster rolls.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle with kitchen shears. Then, using a knife, cut all the way through the tails to split into 2 pieces. Place them flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter on the flesh of each lobster tail half. Broil until the shells turn a bright orange, the flesh is opaque and cooked through and the tails begin to curl, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the tails to a serving platter and top each half with another teaspoon of the compound butter (save the remainder for another use).

Steps:
- Using a clean pair of scissors or kitchen shears, cut along the middle of the top of the shell towards the fins of the tail, making sure to cut in a straight line. Do not cut through the end of the tail.
- Using a spoon, separate the meat from the two sides of the shell, then lift the meat up and out from inside the shell.
- Press the two sides of the shell together, then lay the meat over the seam where the two shells meet.
- If you are having difficulty opening the shell up to lift out the meat, flip the tail over and make cuts along the carapace where the legs meet the bottom part tail. This will help break the rigid structure of the shell and allow it to be more flexible.
- While cutting through the shell, you may have also cut into the meat, which is perfectly okay. Make a shallow cut through the middle of the lobster meat so that you can peel down the thin layer of meat over the sides. This gives the lobster tail its signature look.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, and parsley, then brush the mixture evenly over the lobster meat.
- Place the tails onto a baking sheet, then bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the lobster is fully cooked but not rubbery.
- Serve with a side of broccoli and a lemon wedge.
- Enjoy!
