What a Catch

A few weeks ago, I went all fancy chef on Brady and prepared my first lobster tail. Let me tell you – this was SO EASY to do, I just had to share!

Pre-feast 

Here’s my step by step:

·         Purchase lobster tail (PGH friends –  you likely know this, but Wholey’s is the most awesomest place to purchase fish!)

·         Thaw the tail if needed under hot water

·         Place the lobster tail on its belly and cut the shell down the back

Cutting the tail (and drinking wine)

·         Open the tail and meat “like the Red Lobster commercials” (that’s what my Wholey’s dude told me)

·         Melt some butter and drizzle it on the tail (or mix up your own seasoning)

·         Place the tail into a steamer (I had to buy one! Should have registered for it!)

·         For a 4 oz tail, you steam it for about 12 minutes (the meat should be white)

And DONE!

Finished product!

SO EASY, RIGHT!? Next time I think I'm going to whip up some of those Red Lobster biscuits!
