Baking
a lobster tail yields a terrific, tender piece of seafood. Lobster tail
may sound gourmet, but is not really all that difficult to make. If
you follow a few pointers, you can make a delicious lobster tail in
your own kitchen.
First, you should separate the tail lobster tail from the rest of the
lobster. You can do this with small, tough clippers – wire cutters
even work. Cut through the shell on the underside of the lobster and
then use a knife cut down the middle, effectively cutting it in half.
Be sure to pull out the main vein.
As for cooking your lobster tail, there are two main methods –
steaming and boiling. Many home cooks prefer the steamed tails. If you
plan on cooking and then freezing the lobster tail, you will want to
cook it with the shell on and then keep the shell on in the freezer.
Lobster tail freezes quite well for later consumption, if you can wait
that long.
