Classic Steamed Lobster with Special Dipping Sauce
¼ cup of butter
1-tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped parsley, and tarragon.
1 ½ finely chopped watercress (I didn’t have any)
salt & pepper
4 lobster tails (I used 2 because leftover lobster isn’t my favorite)
4 lemon wedges
(Recipe doesn’t call for GARLIC, but of course I added some)
1) To prepare the sauce, in a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter, lemon juices, parsley, tarragon, watercress, and salt & pepper. (I added garlic!)
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters until bright red, NOW weight watchers said 10-12 minutes, if I would have listened to them it would have ruined the tails, I cooked them for 5 minutes. Never over cook your lobster, it ruins the meat. When the lobster tails look like this (red and curled) their done!
With tongs transfer to a platter…Serve with lemon wedges and sauce.

I forgot to take some pictures of the finished product. It was delish!
Tip #1 I use cooking scissors to slit the back of the lobster open, so the butter can run all over the meat.
Tip #2 If you don’t want your lobster tails to curl, stick a skewer in the belly of them, running it from the top all the way down to the bottom of the tail. I will try to take pictures to explain better later.
