Got a nice surprise from the wife when she bought us a 4 pack of cold water Lobster tails to eat for Valentines Day. Even though we’re going out Saturday for a nice dinner.
Who am I to complain about eating like a champ 2 days in a row!?
I’ve always enjoyed steaming my lobster with beer. It’s so easy too. One year, I didn’t add enough beer and scorched it to the bottom of the pot, wasn’t a good day.
Here’s the Lobster. Thawed, skewered to prevent curling and just a smattering of Old Bay:
I got a pretty big steamer pot, so I added 1.5 bottles of beer, drank the .5 for quality control and then filled the empty bottle up with water and dumped it in the pot. Added some Old Bay and two bay leaf.
Use a decent full bodied beer. Sam Adams Cold Snap is my favorite to use. Anything will work as long as it’s nothing like Chocolate stout or some foofoo strawberry beer.
Once the pot is steaming, add the lobster and steam 8 minutes. These are 8oz tails. Add more time if using larger tails. Remove and serve immediately.
Here’s dinner. Lobster Tail served with browned butter, baked potato and roasted asparagus.
Thanks for looking,
Joe
