Something fishy going on

Yummy flavorful food is an obsession in this house. My husband and I and would eat lobster weekly if it wasn't so expensive! Thankfully I came across a special for $5 a tail, and bam, it was on.

All I excited I brought them home and stored them for a few days until it was Monday evening and it was time to create this culinary delight.

And then it struck me; how in the world do you cook lobster tail?

 I have eaten it, enjoyed it, delighted in it but never has it occurred to me how people cook it.

Thankfully we have the internet at our fingertips and so began my search. BBQ? Steam? Saute? Bake? Wooden skewers to prevent curling? A little overwhelming for the first time lobster cooking so I went with the one that sounded the easiest and the most yummy. Steaming it is.

A few inches of water, a steam basket, 8-10 minutes of fascination with the changing colors and voila!

I simmered butter, garlic, salt, pepper, white white, a dash of Italian Seasoning and Red Pepper flakes, sauteed some shrimp and threw it all on some pasta.



And it was divine. Maybe next time I will try to bake or grill the tails, pending another amazing sale on them :)
