Cooking Instructions

Cook From Thawed: remove vacuum sealed film from tray and thaw in refrigerator overnight. Do not refreeze thawed lobster. Store thawed lobster in the refrigerator and use within two days.

Boil (Preferred Method): Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Gently add tails to water and boil for approximately 5-7 minutes.

Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place tails on grate and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through. Baste tails frequently with melted butter during grilling.

Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (200°C). Place tails on a non-stick baking sheet and bake in center of oven for 15-18 minutes.

Lobster is cooked when meat is opaque and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Since appliances vary, these instructions are guidelines only.

Meal Idea - Lobster Mac and Cheese (4-6 Servings)

Ingredients

• 3-4 Member's Mark warm water lobster tails 
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 4 tbsp. Member's Mark unsalted butter 
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Member's Mark whole milk
• 2 cups Member's Mark shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups shredded gruyere cheese
• 1/3 cup Member's Mark shredded parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 lb. pasta (cooked according to package directions)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp. fresh chives, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and cook lobster tails according to package instructions. 

2. When cool, remove lobster meat and dice. Set aside.

3. In a bowl, melt half the butter and pour over breadcrumbs. Stir and set aside. 

4. In a large saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium-low heat.

5. Add flour and whisk, for about a minute.

6. Slowly add milk, while whisking. Increase heat to medium and stir occasionally until it starts to bubble. The sauce will thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon.

7. Add salt and pepper to taste.

9. When all shredded cheese has been added, add the mascarpone and stir. 

10. Remove from heat.

11. Toss cooked pasta with sauce and 1/2 of the lobster meat, reserving about 1/2 for the top.

12. Pour into a bake dish and top with reserved lobster meat and breadcrumbs. 

13. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives. 

14. Serve immediately.
