How long do you steam frozen lobster tails?

[bigelephant309]

Just put a steamer insert into a pot large enough for the tails, and bring it to a boil. Once it's steaming freely, put in your tails – taking care not to burn yourself with the hot steam – and steam for 8 to 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet, brush each lobster tail with melted butter (Casco Bay Sea Salt Butter) and bake approximately 15 to 18 minutes (depending on tail weight) or until an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Do not overcook.

how do you cook frozen lobster tails without thawing? Start by thawing your tails by dropping the frozen tails directly into cold water for at least 30 minutes. Youll know that the tails are ready when they feel flexible. Next, begin prepping your thawed tails by cutting lengthwise through the top of the lobster shell with lobster and seafood shears or a sharp knife.

Likewise, people ask, how do you steam frozen lobster tails?

Pour about 1 inch of water in the bottom of a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the salt and place a steamer insert inside the pot so that it is just above the water level. Put the lobster tails on the rack and cover the pot. Cover and steam for 8 minutes.

Do you cut the lobster tail before you steam it?

Slip the tip of kitchen shears or heavy scissors into the middle of the hard rounded side of each lobster shell and cut down all the way to the tail fan, being careful not to cut meat. 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.
