Content: Making lobster at home might seem a little intimidating, but I’m going to teach you easy tips to prepare, season, and cook using whichever method you prefer. Let’s go over the tips below to ensure delicious results every time! The taste of the cooked lobster is slightly sweet and briny, and because of its long muscle fibers surrounded by connective tissue, it has a similar texture as shrimp. Like other fish and crustaceans, lobster flesh cooks in just a few minutes and can turn tough and rubbery if overdone. How each cooking method varies
Boiling – Quickly cooks the meat in hot water, but the flavor can get diluted. Steaming – Rapidly yields a clean flavor for those who like to customize their toppings
Baking – Gives a delicate texture due to gentle steaming at a consistent temperature in the oven. Broiling – Lightly browns the shell and meat for more depth in flavor. Grilling – Adds a bit of smokiness and char to the meat and shell. Preparing and thawing frozen lobster tails
You can defrost frozen lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, place them in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
