Prepare the Lobster Tails

• Thaw frozen lobster tails overnight in the fridge or in cold water for 30 minutes.
• Use kitchen shears to cut along the top shell, stopping before the tail fin.
• Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat. Remove the dark vein and rinse the tails under cold water. Pat dry.
