One of the best ways to enjoy lobster also happens to be one of the simplest! Simply steam for 8 minutes and serve with a small dish of melted butter and fresh lemon wedges on the side.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 4 (170g) lobster tails
- 125g butter, melted

- Fill a large pot with about 2.5cm (1 inch) of water and bring to the boil. Add the salt and place a steamer insert inside the pot so that it is just above the water level. Place the lobster tails inside the steamer and cover the pot. Steam for 8 minutes without peeking! Serve with melted butter.

Very good! BE CAREFUL OF OVERCOOKING. I had a 1.5 lb full lobster which went into the pot for 7 mins and it was a bit overcooked. I would suggest 5 minutes unless you have an enormous lobster. Excellent way to prepare it though! - 28 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was good although 8 minutes made it a little on the rubbery side. Next time (and there is going to definitely be a NEXT TIME) I will start checking things starting at 6 minutes. - 26 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was simply perfect. Juicy, tender lobster. Yum. I added garlic to the boiling water and butter just because we love garlic in EVERYTHING. Thanks for something so simple and wonderful. - 14 Feb 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
