Steps:
- Find fresh or frozen lobster tails at a grocery or seafood store. Unless you live in a place where freshly caught lobster can be purchased at supermarkets, your local specialty market or a quality grocery store will have the best lobster for you to use. The fresher the better, but frozen lobster tails work too. Avoid lobster tails that are packaged with sodium triphosphate. The chemical weighs down the lobster tails, making them more expensive by weight.
- Thaw frozen tails in the refrigerator 8-10 hours before cooking. You can keep the tails in the packaging they came in. They need time to fully defrost to prevent any sticking between the meat and the shell, as well as to improve the evenness of the cooking when you boil them. If you don't have time to thaw the tails in the fridge overnight, thaw them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse the tails in cool water. Hold them under the tap with your hands or tongs, trying to rinse every surface of the tail. When you have cleaned the tail, you can dry it with a paper towel or let it air dry before you trim it. This prevents any unclean substances that may have been on the lobster tails from contaminating your food. Lobsters live at the bottom of the sea, and can have quite a bit of debris on them.
- Use shears or a knife to cut the lobster tail lengthwise along the middle. You should cut the lobster all the way back to the very tip of the fin. Try to avoid cutting into the meat, so that it does not break apart during the boiling. Instead, keep the shears well above the meat by pulling up on the shell as you cut. Kitchen shears are a safer choice than a knife, since the knife has to face upwards to cut the shell.
- Use your thumps to pull apart the tail along the incision. The incision you made allows you to easily break apart the shell all the way along the middle. Keep the meat inside the shell for boiling and serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle with kitchen shears. Then, using a knife, cut all the way through the tails to split into 2 pieces. Place them flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter on the flesh of each lobster tail half. Broil until the shells turn a bright orange, the flesh is opaque and cooked through and the tails begin to curl, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the tails to a serving platter and top each half with another teaspoon of the compound butter (save the remainder for another use).

Steps:
- Line a broiler pan with foil pressing it into the grooves of the pan.
- Cut a line down the center of the top of the shell (not the underside of shell), stopping just before the tail fins.
- Pull shell apart leaving it intact, and gently pull lobster meat out, cradling it on top of the now opened shell.
- Using a sharp knife, make a small slit down the top of the meat and spread it by running your finger through the lobster meat.
- Fill crevice with butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and paprika.
- Broil 3-4 inches from heat for approximately 1 minute per ounce.
- (ie: a 4 oz tail would take about 4 minutes).
- Watch carefully.

Steps:
- Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
- Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
- Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.

- Use a large pot filled with water (fill ⅔ of the pot) to boil the lobster tail. The size of the pot will depend on the number of tails you plan to cook.
- After turning the burner down to medium, that will help the tails cook all the way through before separating from the shell.
