If frozen, place frozen lobster tails in Luke warm water for about 30 minutes to defrost.
Pour about 1 inch of water in the bottom of a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the salt and place a steamer insert inside the pot so that it is just above the water level. Put the lobster tails on the rack and cover the pot. Cover and steam for 1 minute per ounce (i.e., if 6 ounce tails, then 6 minutes of steaming). Alternative method is to boil, which removes more flavor.
Serve hot with melted butter. Or place in ice bath for 5-10 minutes if serving chilled such as in lobster rolls.
Serve with David Chang’s lobster infused butter:
