  1. What a delicious gift! There are plenty of great ways to prepare lobster tails beyond the classic butter steaming. Here are a few ideas:

    1. Grilled Lobster Tails: Cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise and brush them with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and grill them on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and slightly charred.

    2. Lobster Tail Pasta: Sauté some garlic and shallots in olive oil, then add diced tomatoes and white wine to create a sauce. Cook the lobster tails in the sauce, then toss it all with your favorite pasta and finish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of parmesan.

    3. Lobster Tails in Garlic and Herb Butter: Mix softened butter with minced garlic, lemon zest, and fresh herbs (like parsley or tarragon). After cooking the lobster tails, spoon this flavorful butter over them for a gourmet touch.

    4. Lobster Tacos: Grill or sauté the lobster meat and chop it into bite-size pieces. Serve in corn tortillas with a spicy mango salsa, avocado, and a drizzle of lime crema for a fun twist.

    5. Coconut Curry Lobster: Stew the lobster in coconut milk with curry paste, ginger, and lime leaves. Serve it over rice or use it as a filling for a savory pie or spring rolls.

    Ensure you thaw them properly by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for a quicker method. Enjoy your fantastic lobster tails!
