Costco has these huge boxes of large frozen lobster tails. When I was
so sick for several years and couldn't keep anything down, I said to
my husband that if I ever got better I was going to buy the 5-pound
package of lobster tails (likewise, shrimp) I love seafood. Well,
I've had the shrimp several times and my daughter just got me the box
of lobster tails for my birthday. I now have 5 opportunities to try
different ways to prepare lobster tail. (2 per meal)
What do you do? Is simple the best? Grill? Broiler? Steam?
The meals will be all about the tails -- probably French bread and a
salad as sides.
I appreciate your thoughts.

Simple is best. I prefer grilled. Cut in half lengthwise and grilled
brushing with melted butter a few times. Then a little touch of lemon at
the table. A little chopped parsely in the butter is good too.

'cut in half lengthwise'? Do you mean cut the shell and pop the meat
up on top of the shell or do you mean cut the entire thing in half?

Cut it in half the entire length. The other method doesn't work on a grill,
you'd need a broiler. For smaller lobster tails I cut it in half down tot
he underside and then butterfly it open.

One more thing, it helps to run wooden skewers down throw the tail to keep
it from curling up. Makes it nicer looking and easier to cook.

I don't think people steam lobster tails, that's for whole lobster. I
prefer mine broiled or grilled and we do a small steak with them for
surf & turf. That's when a twice baked potato is mandatory for me.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

I forgot to ask if you've ever prepared lobster tails before, if not -
don't forget to loosen them from the shell *before* cooking.

Grilled, broiled, or boiled, all good simply with drawn butter and
some squeezed lemon, but check out these possibilities: They're
from the July, 2014 issue of Downeast Magazine (and I mean, who
knows betta what to do wit lobstah that those Maine-ahs :-) )

(Lobster, mac 'n' cheese is perhaps Mrs. Beitel's all time
favorite food.)

wonderful reading, but far too decadent for a land-locked cook.

I just use my boning knife, but I guess it really doesn't matter as
long as you separate it from the shell. If you do forget, you will
never forget to do it again.

Happy birthday too!

Boning knife sounds good. Birthday was in Feb., She got me a gift
certificate. The boxes were not available when I was there until
recently. But, thanks anyway.

You are welcome.

I like the quick videos and I think that they covered most ways to prep
and cook a lobster tail.

And those tails are so darned cheap now that we grab them on a regular
basis.

So glad to hear that celebrating another birthday isn't out of the
question for you, Janet.

My birthday is Wednesday, the 13th. Will celebrate with a shot in the
AM for platelets and the washer repair man and the water softener repair
man in the afternoon. Maybe I should get a cake and share it with the
repairmen?

Can't do chemo. I had a bag of platelets on Friday and by this morning
platelets were lower than they were before Friday's infusion. I have to
get a series of 5 shots to build them back up. Had one this morning and
a bag of platelets this afternoon.

After my blood comes back, hopefully this week, we see the radiologist
and try to treat with radiation. I am fighting as hard as I can, but I
have no weapons. Doctor is optimistic.

I am just plain ****ed off and frustrated at the whole business. I want
my life back.

You evidence a feisty attitude, that should be the x factor in the

I will be 68 on Wednesday and that's just too damn young to die. I have
parts of the world I want to see. I have grandchildren at whose
weddings I want to dance. I have friends who love me and need me in
their lives.

What drives me the most is that if I am dying, I will have to move back
to New Jersey to be near the children. I don't want to leave the Lower
Rio Grande Valley in Texas. I love it here. It's truly my home.

My empathy. It's one day at a time, Janet. And don't ever forget
that you will win. It's just a pain in the ass getting there

You just did it.

When you send someone positive energy, by prayer or intention, it finds
them and enhances their karma.

Nice.

Hang in there, lady, this is just another speed-bump in your road of
life. Your doctor is optimistic and so am I. Next year, you will be able
to celebrate your birthday by having a nice dinner with a glass of wine,
you will be both happy and healthy. I am going to count on that.

Without creeping anyone out, did John McCain borrow that for his bizarre
2008 Presidential nomination speech of "fight, fight, fight for America!"

Made me feel worried, unsound, etc.
