Lobster tails (cocktail style)
Little Rascal
Posts: 174 Officer
I want to fix some lobster tails for a get together. I would like to boil them, chill, cut into small cubes and serve with cocktail sauce. I am going to do about 15 tails with each tail about 1/3 to 1/2 pounds. Any suggestions on how to boil them (all together or a few at a time....how long....shell on or off)? Are there any recipes for cocktail sauce other than just ketchup and horseradish sauce?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

For 10-12 oz, boil 10-12min and for 14-16oz, boil for 15-20min. Set in colander to cool
and for traditional Cocktail Sauce..
Ketchup 4 oz
Horseradish 1 Tbsp
Lemon Juice 1 Tbsp
Hot Sauce to Taste
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce a few Dashes to taste
good luck...
we made this video while in the keys this summer......... broiled and fried are my favorites..........be careful, they get tough if over cooked.

Boiled them in two batches for about 8 1/2 minutes. Used a crab boil bag and salt.
Chopped them up into one inch squares.
The only thing I noticed, was that it was hard to get off all the sand from the lobster meat. I had to wash them a couple of times. I think if I would have taken them out of the shell and cleaned the tails before boiling, I could have cleaned the meat better....but I don't know how the meat would have turned out that way. This way it was great and the lobster disappeared shortly.
