Lobster Tail

Written By: Chris - Mar• 11•13

Lobster tails are a rich and filling entree, especially when served alongside steak.  Every once in a while, I make lobster tails at home for a special meal and this happened to be our New Years “Surf & Turf” celebration!  Lobster is one of those foods that is frequently associated with a holiday like New Years or Valentine’s Day, and subsequently many stores will bring it in offering it on sale.  This beautiful one pound tail was found at our local Costco and was perfect for Bill and I to share along side of a tasty fillet of beef for a real treat on this special weekend.  People might assume that this is a tough dish to prepare, but it really isn’t.  The beauty of lobster, like so many good quality seafoods, is that a very simplistic preparation is often the best option to highlight the flavor of the meat.  I thought I would share some tips on how easy it is to prepare at home deutsch bücher herunterladen!

There are also several health reasons that lobster should be eaten.  It is high in protein and low in fat and is lower in cholesterol than even skinless chicken breast!  Though it can tend to be pricey, the most important thing is to start with good quality lobster.    Baking and broiling lobster tail is one of the easiest ways to cook it and it can result in the juiciest piece of meat you could eat icloud fotos gesammelt herunterladen.
