My husband made these using your video and I suggested the tiniest bit of Lawrys season salt and they were perfect!! Who knew lobster took 5 mins! Thank you so much I wish I could show u a pic of our valentines dinner.

Wonderful!! I cooked two small 3 oz lobster tails, used a meat thermometer, and went for 8 mins for 130 temp. I probably could have gone 10 minutes. They were perfect.., even though I had difficulty pulling the meat up. Not picture-perfect....but they were so good! Thank you!!

[nicostyles]

Amazing video and very detailed. About to make them now. Have a great day 😊

I used your instructions to broil lobster tails for my parents for Mother's Day... I was nervous since I hadn't made them for anyone else before, but they turned out great. Thank you!

Verry and well-explained video. You explained in detail every step of the recipe to end with a perfectly done lobster tail. Thank you for this video. Best Regards.

I made them, my wife has a new fav, oh no need a better paying job! Details are fantastic without making the video long. You are fantastic! 😊

Most oven broilers have a high and low setting and of course you can put the tray higher or lower. Curious what settings you use and how close to the broiler?

Thank you for the perfect video I am a little weary of the paprika and cayenne but if it adds great flavor, I am going to try this. Thank you. Terry from Oregon

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It always looked intimidating. Lol, lobster tails. 😂 but since all ovens made differently what temp for broiling? 450 ok or 500?

[Niagra]

Looks Delicious! Have to make these soon.
Thank You!

Thanks for the video! I find that opening them is easier if you hold the lobster tail between your palms as if praying, then use your palms to squeeze the bottom of the tail until you feel a pop and the top opens up. It also helps separate the meat from the membrane, so you accomplish two steps at once.

[SoCOJules]

I’ve always been too intimidated to try making lobster tails! Thank you for the step by step instructions!

[ggbrent]

I didn’t move the oven tray close enough, so it took a little longer, but they turned out amazing! Thank you. I’m keeping this video!

[annaxin]

Should it use broil high or low? My oven has two choices.

[Tomc]
