hey guys im cooking LOBSTER TAILS tonight!

[Wacko3205]

will someone tell me how to take off the DAMN armor already lol i wanna eat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boil or steam them until they soften up a bit.

Now this may not be the proper way to work them...but it's the way I prep them is this...& it's always done me right.

Depending on how many tails or what they weigh...set a timer for eight minutes if prepping two lobsters.

Midways through...remove them as they've softened. Then take a knife & split them down the back. Don't cut the tail off.

Continue to boil them or steam them a bit more...until ready.

Again...the process should run for about 8-10 minutes.

If you just want to steam the lobsters...that's easy. Just cook them in a colender atop a pot boiling water. Usually...that only takes about 3 minutes. The steam softens them REALLY fast...believe it or not...faster than putting them in boiling water.

After either process...just mix some garlic, lemon juice, & thyme together & then nuke that for a glaze.

If you really want to spice it up...add some wasabi powder...it's the bomb!

I think X deserves special mention due to the fact he went back 1 year and 3 months to pull this joke off. My hats off to you, good sir.

Agreed.

I miss the TheBESTP4P, though his banning was certainly justified.

[amat]

I miss him too And I wouldn't mind a "corporate lunch" at Aliotos either








BTW - and this is so weird - I'm having Little Ceasars pizza for the first time since that time in Santa Cruz which I posted about. How odd. 5 dollar large pizzas though really can't be beat.

If you are at home, try kitchen shears, will cut thru almost anything.

If your at a restrant, tell the chef to do it.

Yeah you take the shell off after you cook it

Amat, WTF Lobster is probably the single greatest food. Ever. If I was on death row and was having my last meal lobster would be a part of it somehow.

[Trainer Monkey]

Sorry,medical science(as described as me looking at them)has decreed Lobsters as a really big ugly bug,and I dont eat bugs

[AdamGB]

Not on purpose anyway...

It's pretty rare that I disagree with you on something it seems but this might be one of them. However, I'm not a picky eater anymore and am pretty much open to try anything. I don't like seafood all that much but I am coming around in a big way on sushi and other stuff so lobster is probably worth another try. I think it's just the preset disposition I had to hating seafood that led to me not liking it before. Still, I remember not liking it not for the seafood taste but for the...tanginess of the cocktail sauce. I think that's the right word for the situation. I felt kind of bad, they served the cocktail in this huge wine type glass it was all fancy done and everything in Monterey at this very expensive place, I just couldn't eat it I traded my mom foods and I NEVER trade foods. I will give it another try but from what I remember I didn't find it all that good.
