Rock Lobster Tails

Ingredients:

4 rock lobster tails (4-5 ounces each or 120-150 grams each)

4 skewer sticks

Sweet Mustard Glaze

 

Method:

Preheat oven to High Broil.

Place a skewer through the flesh of the lobster tail, from the flesh to the tail end.

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook lobster in the boiling water for 5-6 minutes.

Remove and put lobster tails in ice water to cool.

The skewer will have helped keep the lobster tails flat.

Remove the skewers from the lobster tails.

Using a pair of scissors, cut 2 lines down the bottom of the tail and rip away the shell.

Once that is done you can remove the lobster tail from the shell in one piece.

Place lobster tails on a baking tray with parchment paper.

Brush Sweet Mustard Glaze on the lobster tails.

Cook lobster tails in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized.

Remove from oven, slice lobster tails in medallions and serve immediately.
