Let's Get Started
- Prepare the lobster tails by cutting the top shell down to the tail with kitchen shears. Remove the vein and rinse the tails under cold water.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the water and lemon juice, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the lobster tails to the pan, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Poach the lobster tails for 7-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and firm to the touch.
- Remove the lobster tails from the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the lobster tails immediately, drizzled with some of the poaching butter.
