Procedures to Cook Frozen Lobster Tails

Defrost the Lobster Tails
The first step in cooking frozen lobster tails is to thaw the lobster completely. Defrosting is essential prior to cooking because it helps in maintaining the flavor of the lobster tails. You may cook lobster with ice intact, but the resultant meat will be less delicious than the one which has been thawed before.

When you get the lobster tails from the market, keep them in the refrigerator for a day. Remember not to take out the lobster tails from the packaging before keeping in the refrigerator. After twenty-four hours, the lobster tails will get defrosted. Another method to defrost the lobster tails is to keep them in water for some time. This is a quicker way to defrost them. While defrosting in water, keep the lobster tails in storage bags before immersing them in water so that the water does not reach the meat and render it tasteless. Some people even use an oven to defrost the lobster tails, but personally, I will not recommend it as the lobster might lose its softness because of the heat in the oven.

The best way to cook frozen lobster tails is by thawing it in a refrigerator overnight, before cooking. After the lobster tails have been thawed, you may choose any of the lobster recipes to cook frozen lobster tails of your choice.

Bake the Lobster Tails
To cook frozen lobster tails which are baked, you have to use an oven. Start with pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, wash the lobster tails with cold water, after they have been thawed, using the methods mentioned above. After washing and drying them, put them on a baking sheet. Now make a lengthwise cut on the shell in such a way that the meat is visible. Now keep the lobster tails for baking in the oven for about ten minutes. Take the meat out after ten minutes, sprinkle salt, pepper and some herbs such as oregano on top of it for taste. A scrumptious, tender, baked lobster tail is ready.

Steam the Lobster Tails
For cooking frozen lobster tails which are steamed, first of all clean the lobster tails with cold water so that the germs and bacteria are washed away. Once the lobster tails have been cleaned and dried, skewer the lobster tails before setting them up for steaming in a steamer. This is done so that the lobster tails do not curl upon steaming. Now put the lobster tails in the steamer and cook for about three minutes. Remember to leave enough space in between the lobsters while steaming so that they are cooked on all sides.

For steaming, you may put water or beer or white wine in the steamer. Alternately you can make a sauce by mixing wine, cream and paprika and steam the lobster in it. After the steaming has been done, put the lobster tails under cold water for a while. Steamed lobster tails are now ready to be served. Just like a steamed lobster, grilled lobster is also quite tasty.

Here's hoping that now you have understood how to cook frozen lobster tails at home. A frozen lobster has many benefits compared to a live lobster. A frozen lobster costs less, is easy to prepare and can be stored for a very long time in the refrigerator, until you are ready to cook it.
