Serves 2
2 lobster tails (5 - 8 ounces each)
1½ teaspoons salt
Melted butter (optional, for serving)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to boil in a 3-quart pot.
2. Run a wooden skewer through each lobster tail lengthwise to keep them straight.
3. When the water is boiling, add 1½ teaspoons salt to the pot. Add the lobster tails and turn the heat down a bit so they are simmering. Simmer for 5 - 8 minutes (1 minute for each ounce of your lobster tails).
4. Drain for a minute or so in a colander. Then use scissors to cut the shells; spread them open with your fingers.
5. Serve with melted butter, if desired.
