How to Thaw: For best results, defrost lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator. If you're short on time, you can also place them in a bowl of cold water for 30 to 60 minutes until fully thawed.

Ways to Cook:
Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the lobster tails with melted butter, place them shell-side down, and cook for 5–6 minutes until the meat is white and opaque.
Broil: Turn on your broiler and arrange the tails on a baking tray. Add a generous coat of butter and broil 4–5 inches from the heat source for about 5–6 minutes.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Put the tails in a baking dish, pour in a little water or white wine, cover with foil, and bake for 12–15 minutes.
Pro Tip: Lobster is done when it's just opaque—don't overcook, or you'll lose that tender, juicy texture.
