Taste of Home ~ Step by Step
No matter where you live, these succulent, buttery lobster tails are just a few minutes away. Here in Iowa, we use frozen lobster with delicious results, but if you're near the ocean, by all means use fresh!
If you want to go big this Valentine’s Day, make lobster tails. If you’re intimidated, enlist your valentine’s help so you can tackle them together. It’s sure to be a memorable evening.
Recipe by: Lauren McAnelly ~ Des Moines, Iowa

Ingredients:
- 4 lobster tails (5 to 6 ounces each), thawed
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into thin slices
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges
- Preheat broiler. Using kitchen scissors, cut a 2-in.-wide rectangle from the top shell of each lobster tail; loosen from lobster meat and remove.
- Pull away edges of remaining shell to release lobster meat from sides; pry meat loose from bottom shell, keeping tail end attached. Place in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan. Arrange butter slices over lobster meat.
- Broil 5-6 in. from heat until meat is opaque, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve lobster tails with lemon wedges.
