Lobster is considered to be a fancy dish. If you have guests you really want to impress you can make them Lobster tails. The dish, despite being fancy, is quite simple to create. Taking advantage of today's technology, you can now cook your lobster in the microwave and no one will be the wiser. This is how:
Instructions
1. The first thing you want to do is make sure your lobster is not frozen. It is not recommended to cook a frozen lobster so here is what you need to do if you lobster is frozen. Place your lobster on a plate and stick it in your refrigerator the night before you plan on using it for your meal. The next day it will have thawed out naturally and all flavors would have been protected.
2. Now you need to cut through the center of your lobster tail shell with a knife until the meat from the lobster tail starts to come out. Place your tail in a microwave safe casserole dish and add about 1/4 cup of water making sure the water is poured directly over the meat. Place your lid on the dish and microwave at 50 percent for 4-6 minutes. Microwave times vary.
3. When your lobster tail is finished let it stand in the microwave while you prepare a sauce. The most common is a lemon butter sauce. Get a small bowl and add 2 tbs. of butter, 1 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder.
4. Take your lobster out of the microwave and place your bowl inside. Cook for 45 seconds or as long as it takes for your butter to completely melt.
5. Place your lobster tail on a serving dish and cover with lemon butter sauce. Serve hot.
