how to cook frozen lobster tail without thawing
Hello Butterfly, can I cook my frozen lobster tail without thawing it first?
Hi there! Absolutely, you can cook a frozen lobster tail without defrosting it first. There are different methods, but broiling is one of the most popular ones.
Sounds good! How can I do this broiling?
Firstly, preheat your broiler. Then, using a sharp knife, carefully cut down the middle of the tail shell to expose the meat. Be sure not to cut deeply into the meat. Now you can place butter and herbs on the exposed meat for additional flavor.
Awesome! Now, what about the cooking process? How long should it be broiled?
Normally, you would broil the lobster tail for about 1 minute for every ounce of weight. For example, if a tail weighs 10 ounces, you would broil it for approximately 10 minutes. But as the tail is frozen, you may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes. Just make sure the meat is opaque (not translucent) and firm to touch.
That's very helpful, thank you very much Butterfly!
