TJ's prefers to steam, not boil, lobsters! If steaming a tail, thaw completely and put a skewer through tail to keep it straight. Pour 2 inches of salted water into a large pot. Use a steaming rack in the bottom if you prefer. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat. Place lobsters in pot, cover tightly, return to boil as quickly as possible.
| 4 oz lobster tail | 3 min |
| 8 oz lobster tail | 6 min |
| 10 oz lobster tail | 7 min |
| 1.5 lb lobster | 14.5 min |
| 2 lb lobster | 16 min |
Put some TJ's Clarified Butter or TJ's Lemon Butter With Capers out for dipping!
TJ's Tip: Add some dark beer (Shiner Bock or Fat Tire) and a Bay Leaf to your steaming liquid to add some subtle flavor to your lobster.
