Steamed Lobster Tails offer a simple yet flavorful way to enjoy lobster. The beer steaming process enhances the natural sweetness, creating a delicious dish perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients for this Steamed Lobster Tails:
- 2 whole lobster tails
- ½ (12 fluid ounce) can beer (lager or pale ale recommended)
Directions:
- Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the tail fins. Gently pull apart the shell and lift the lobster meat out, keeping it attached at the base.
- Steam Setup: In a large pot, pour in the beer and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add Lobster Tails: Place a steaming rack or a heat-safe dish above the simmering beer, ensuring the lobster tails don’t touch the liquid. Cover with a lid.
- Steam: Steam the lobster tails for about 8-10 minutes or until the meat is opaque and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Remove the lobster tails and serve with melted butter and fresh lemon wedges.
