Step 1

Fill a pot with 1 inch of water so that it is below the steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, line the steamer basket with the slices of lemon and place the butterflied lobster tails in the steamer basket on top of the lemon slices, making sure they are not overcrowded. Place the steamer basket on top of the pot with boiling water, cover, and steam the lobster tails for 6-8 minutes, or until the shells turn bright red and the meat becomes opaque.

Step 3

Remove the lobster tails from the steamer using tongs. Be careful as they will be hot. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 4

Serve the lobster tails as they are or with some melted butter and a slice of lemon.
