Step 1

The first thing you’ll want to do to prepare steamed lobster tails is to begin boiling a pot of water. Begin with a large pot and add a few inches of cold water. Bring to a boil on medium heat

Step 2

While the water starts to heat up, prep your lobster tails. Carefully cut the shell of the lobster tail lengthwise from top to bottom using a knife or kitchen scissors

Step 3

Gently pull back the shell, allowing the lobster meat to be exposed. Doing so allows the meat to cook more evenly, and be removed from the shell more easily once ready to eat

Step 4

Once your lobster tails are prepped and your pot of water is boiling, place a steamer basket on top of the pot and add the lobster tails. Only add a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the basket

Step 5

Cover the pot with a lid and steam, allowing for a cook time of 1-1.5 minutes per ounce of lobster. A good indication of lobster being cooked is that the meat will be an opaque white, and the shell a bright red. To check that your lobster meat is fully cooked through, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the lobster tail. The temperature should read between 140-145 degrees Fahrenheit

Step 6

Steamed lobster tails can be served hot alongside a flavorful butter, or the meat can be cooled and added to classic lobster dishes like lobster rolls, salads, or lobster Mac and cheese
