DEVILED LOBSTER TAILS

Deviled Lobster Tails image

These spicy lobster tails are so easy to make. Just a note on the lobster tails in supermarkets: if they're not frozen, they've been frozen and then thawed. So, bypass the 'fresh' for the frozen, which are fresher.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
4 frozen lobster tails - thawed, split in half, and deveined

Steps:

Mix mayonnaise, tarragon, sriracha sauce, paprika, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Set oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Loosen lobster meat from the shell, leaving it attached near the tip of the tail. Place tails on a baking sheet lined with crinkled aluminum foil to help keep them in place.
Spoon some of the mayonnaise mixture beneath the lobster meat and spread a generous amount on top.
Broil in the preheated oven until lobster tails are browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
