The tails in the video are 10 oz. each. They are certainly a big portion but remember that you lose some weight to the shell. Each 10 oz. tail yields around 8 oz of meat. Cooking times are listed on the video from 3:58-4:08. Hope yours turn out great!
-stop before u cut to the fand out end of the lobster tail -useing the shell when u bake to piggyback the meat ontop of the shell -u dont want to rip it so hard that the shell just breaks in half -allow it to hold together but gives u enough room to get inbetween the shell and the lobster meat -and pull the meat off the lower membrane which is underneath the belly of the tail and then set it back down -preheat oven 375 -coat lobster tail meat in olive oil -pinch shell under lobster tail meat and piggy back meat so its sitting ontop of the shell -sprinkle a dash of papyrikya before u put in oven -one and a half minute per ounce of lobster, 5mins -broil 3 mins
Never have I felt like instruction worked so well in any cooking video as this one. Absolutely amazing lobster tails were made doing exactly these steps, and I can't thank you enough for the tutorial!
I am a prolific cook but I DO NOT eat seafood. And yet I'm charged with cooking surf and turf for the family this year. I needed this broken down Barney Style and yall did it! Thank you so much!
Trying it this way tomorrow myself with some rare rib eye steak, butter and garlic fries asparagus, and some good old Molson Canadian (I'm a Canuck lol). Thanks for the review!
my son kept begging to taste lobster but I didn't know how to prepare. On my way home from the market I'm thinking..do I steam it, do I boil it..lol well thank goodness I found this video! I didn't have shears so I used a sharp butcher knife very gently to cut down the middle. Had a little trouble pinching the shell to make the meat sit on top but all said it turned out great! it was a beautiful orange color and the texture of the meat was perfect... Thank you!
GREAT video I have used this method for years and it works PERFECTLY. The nice thing about this method is that you can cook ANY size tail and they come out GREAT every time.
Thank you for going into detail about getting the meat off of the lower membrane. Most people gloss over this part or do not show it at all!! Thanks again!!! Great video!!!
Beautiful..just Beautiful! This was my first attempt and it came out perfectly. The lobster meat was the star as it wasn't over seasoned as per your instructions. The timing was right on as it couldn't have been sweeter or more tender. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I stumbled across your video because I needed to know if I could submerge the lobsters in water directly without wrapping them up first. Your instructions were clear and simple! I'm so thrilled to know that'll be able to cook my lobsters without ruining them!
Yep. Good old rare Canadian rib eye steak, good old beer (I'm Canadian so that's a given regardless), and some asparagus fried in butter and garlic. With ye a 100% on that one buddy.
Fantastic easy to follow instructions. You were clear and slow enough to be easily followed. And the lobster looked amazing. According to Alexa, I can be there for dinner in 11 hours 14 minutes. Save me a seat. Looks delicious. Thanks for the tutorial.
By far the best lobster tail preparation video on RU-vid. The video which initially taught me how to prep lobster tail. I lost this video and have been searching for this for hours
Followed this recipe.. and the lobster tails were just awesome. The variable was coating them with a clarified tarragon and lemon zest butter that I had put together. Of course, the quality of the lobster tails are a major help. Great recipe!!!
Thank You! I am trying Lobster tails for New Years for the first time ever. I've looked at 10 other sites that did not explain it and show it clearly like your video. Thank You Again. I'm going to make one tail for lunch just to make sure it comes out right. Dinner is at 5:00.
Great, simple video. We followed this the other night and they came out great. The only change is we had to cook a little longer than the suggested 90sec/oz. It also took longer to thaw than suggested. We had them in the refrigerator for 10 hours, then had to put them in the cold water for 15 minutes or so as well. Thanks for putting this together!
@BurhopsSeafood update: I made this for new years eve! Made a paste of butter/olive oil/parsley/minced garlic/pepper and rubbed down the tail on all sides. It was so easy and so good. Thanks! Don't be intimated people. I'm 23 and rarely cook, if I can do it so can you...
This video was so informative and straightforward. I’ve never cooked lobster tails but I feel way more confident now after watching your video. Thank you! ☺️
This was my first time cooking lobster and it came out amazing! I can’t thank you enough. My New Year’s Eve party was that much better, and we’re going into 2020 with a lot more lobster on the menu for dinner at home!
This video still holds true to this day. Instead of paprika though I use some cayenne and seafood seasoning and before broiling I add a bit of green onion on top the butter for that extra look.
I thought I would share that after poking myself with the shell multiple times, I decided to insert the handle end of a small metal spoon between the shell and the lobster and roll it around to loosen the flesh. It really helped! Thanks for the tutorial. My lobster turned out wonderful.
Fantastic and am anxious to try with Maine lobster tails because coming from New England the flavor just isn’t the same but got these in a pinch as I have in the past and this is by far the best way to cook them! Thanks!
Great Vid! I just got two lobster tails that were on sail for the 4th of July and didn't know what to do with them. Now I know. Very simple and straight forward, thanks!
We had our son and granddaughters watch the video with us - and we ended up with perfectly cooked lobster tails using your method and recipe. Thanks so much - it was easy and turned out wonderful and so fun to do with the family!
My first time cooking lobster tail ever - I wanted to make a special meal to celebrate my husband's new job. Followed this recipe and NAILED it! He said it was better than he'd had in any restaurant, ever! Thanks for the recipe :)
I have never made lobster before in my life. I searched the web, saw several different ways of cooking, then found your video. I made these for memorial day and they were a huge hit. Cooked perfectly using your instruction. I also did remove the single dark vein in the tail. Folks, use this technique for PERFECT and I do mean PERFECT lobster tail. My guests were SHOCKED. The shells turn red after baking. THANKS!!!
Well, I tried this method last night with 8 lobster tails. Yes they were the best lobster tails ever and everyone praised how well they turned out - PERFECT! This is how I'm doing them from now on, Thank You
great video, thanks for the help! Ive had problems in the past with the lobster sticking to the inside of the shell once cooked. This video negated that problem! cheers
I followed this making butterflied lobster tails for the first time and it was absolutely amazing... thank you. Thought I used a Butter, garlic, and chive compote.
This is a bulletproof method for great tasting perfectly cooked tails. I used to boil them and the result was always hit and miss. Since doing them this way I would put mine up against any restaurants tails. Yummmm. And thanks for this video!
