If you decide to cook up some frozen tails, make sure you thaw them in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking (or they will end up tough). To keep it on the lighter side, leave the meat in the shell and steam to keep it moist. Serve with a little butter and lots of lemon on the side. To steam lobster tails, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Place 4 medium-sized tails in steam colander. Allow to steam 1 to 1½ minutes per ounce. Other ways to cook lobster tails are to boil, grill, or bake. Happy cooking!!

TAKE SCISSORS, CUT FROM FRONT TO END,TOPSIDE, LEAVING ABOUT AN INCH FROM END.WORK MEAT AWAY FROM SHELL WITH FINGERS,PULL MEAT UP AND OUT WITH END REMAINING ATTACHED. SQUEEZE SHELL TOGETHER, LAYING MEAT ON TOP OF SHELL. PUT A LITTLE BUTTER ON TOP, BAKE IN OVEN @ 325* FOR 9 TO 12 MINUTES(DEPENDING ON SIZE) CHECK WITH FORK, FORK SHOULD PENETRATE BUT STILL FIRM. I THEN PUT IT UNDER BROILER FOR A FEW MINUTES TO MAKE THE TOP A LITTLE CRISP. PLATE LOBSTER WITH MEAT STILL ON TOP OF SHELL, WALA, JUST LIKE A RESTAURANT.

Broil or whatever like in a cafe or restaurant. Seem by the time the bottom is cooked through, the top is dried out. Plus have seen so many on removing the meat and cook on top of shell to leaving it in the shell. Can someone please give directions to cook tails from frozen state and from fresh state.
