HOW DO YOU COOK FROZEN LOBSTER TAILS AT HOME?
Since most lobster tails at the grocery store are sold frozen and not fresh, you will have an extra step to take before you start the cooking process.

Remove the lobster tails from the bag and begin cutting the top of the shell lengthwise with a pair of kitchen shears.
To Butterfly your lobster tail: Carefully crack open the shell slightly and begin to pull the meat away from the inside of the shell gently being careful not to crush the shell. Leave the end of the meat attached to the tail and flip the meat up over the top of the shell.

If desired, add about 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the baking sheet to create a little steam. This step will help ensure your lobster tails stay tender.
