4 medium lobster tails depends on their size how many you need
8 c water, or enough to steam the lobsters want them above the water
1 large lemon, cut in half
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
2 medium cloves garlic
1/2 c white wine, whatever you like to drink, for this i like chardonnay
1 to 2 tsp hot sauce, more if you like
1 Tbsp hot horseradish
1 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tsp dill weed

Steps:

1. You will need something to steam the lobsters in I have a pot with a steamer insert in that I use for this
2. Before you cook the lobster tails, take a sharp knife and cut them to split the shells. Don't cut them in half, just cut them so eating them will be easier when they are cooked
3. Put everything in the water except the lobster tails. Bring the seasoned water to a simmering boil.
4. Put the lobster tails in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until they turn bright red, and flesh is translucent. this could take from 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the lobster.
5. Serve with melted butter.
