Last night's dinner should have been fabulous .  It was ruined as we had extreme difficulty getting the lobster out of the tails.  So here we were struggling with the meat and being assaulted by the sharp shell.  I used a recipe from the Food Network Kitchen.  

Ingredients:

4 (5-6 oz) frozen lobster tails, thawed (we had 2)

1 stick (8 T) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 T  chopped fresh parsley

1 T minced shallot

1 t lemon zest

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 t salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
2. Preheat the broiler.  Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.  
3. Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle with kitchen  shears.  Then, using a knife, cut all the way through the tails to split into 2 pieces.  Place them flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.  
4. Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 t salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
5. Spread 2 t of the compound butter of the flesh of each lobster tail half.  Broil until shells turn a bright orange and the flesh is opaque and cooked through and the tails begin to curl, about 4 minutes.  
6. Transfer the tails to a serving platter and top each half with another t of the compound butter.  

I roasted asparagus and we we had frozen French fries in the air fryer.
