How to Boil Lobster Tails
- 1). Thaw out your lobster tails. This can be done a few different ways. Either leave your lobster in the refrigerator for 10 hours or leave it in a bowl of warm water for about 2 hours.
- 2). Use a sharp knife to cut down the middle of the top of the shell. Stop before you get to the end and pull the meat out of the shell. The meat will still be attached at the bottom so don't pull it out all the way.
- 3). Fill a pot full of water and bring it to a boil.
- 4). Add your lobster tail or tails to the boiling water. Cook the lobster tail 1 minute for every ounce the lobster weighs. The lobster shell will change color when it is cooked. Look for it to become a brighter red. It it doesn't, it isn't cooked all the way yet.
- 5). Remove the lobster from the pot with a pair of tongs and set on top of a plate of pasta. Serve hot.
