4 “Lobstermania”
Serves 2
Australian Lobster is the most
expensive and some people say the most delicious of
all lobsters. It is a cold water species that has
snowy white, firm, sweet meat. The tails are the most
prized part of this lobster-holics treat. Be sure to
purchase your lobster tails from a reputable fish
market to insure freshness.
2 Australian Lobster Tails -10-12 oz.
each
Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees F
Method
-
Use
a pair of kitchen scissors to make two parallel
incisions down the underside of the opaque shell. Be
careful not to cut through the entire tail since you
will be utilizing it as a platform for baking the
lobster tail.
-
Remove the lobster tail from the shell and then
place the meat back on top of the uncut side of the
shell.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cut down the
center of the lobster tail and remove the vein from
the meat.
-
Butterfly the lobster meat open across the shell.
-
Place the lobsters onto a baking sheet and bake in
the preheated oven for 15-20 mins. or until the
lobster is firm to the touch.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few
minutes before serving.
