Ingredients

1 tablespoon sea salt
4 (6 ounce) lobster tails
0.5 cup butter, melted

Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients.
Pour approximately 1 inch of water into a large stockpot and bring to a rolling boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and place a steamer insert inside the pot, ensuring it sits just above the water level. Carefully arrange the lobster tails on the steamer rack and tightly cover the pot.
Steam the lobster tails for exactly 8 minutes (resist the urge to peek!).
Carefully remove the steamed lobster tails from the steamer and serve immediately with warm, melted butter for dipping.
