Tips:

  • Choose the right lobster tails: Look for tails that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid tails that are mushy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Prepare the lobster tails properly: Before cooking, use kitchen shears to cut through the top shell of the lobster tail, starting at the center and cutting all the way to the tail fin. This will allow the lobster meat to cook evenly.
  • Stuff the lobster tails generously: Don't be afraid to stuff the lobster tails with a variety of fillings, such as bread crumbs, herbs, cheese, and seafood. This will add flavor and moisture to the lobster meat.
  • Cook the lobster tails perfectly: The best way to cook lobster tails is to bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes per ounce. This will ensure that the lobster meat is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
  • Serve the lobster tails immediately: Lobster tails are best served immediately after they are cooked. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, and melted butter for a delicious and elegant presentation.
