Slipper Lobster tails

[maunahaole]

I have a bunch. They are going to get cooked up this weekend. Any tips on how not to turn these into rubber?

[lavi]

Yes. Pack them in dry ice and send them to me.

You can get your fat ass here by Saturday. There is other stuff on the menu as well. And beer.

First, to ensure proper atmospheric conditions play this:

If it was me, I'd steam or low low low poach (think tiny bubbles before you lay in the lobsters and cover) with peppercorns and white wine than take the left over poaching liquid and reduce...add fresh tarragon than finish with butter and a dash of heavy cream.
Use the reduction to make a puddle under the lobster tails.
PS - Oh he!! yes.

+1 on the very low poach. Google "butter poached lobster" for one of the most succulent orgiastic bites of seafood ever. Atmo.

Shoot me now. Thanks, that recipe is French sister visiting-worthy. It really does not look that bad.

Dave, you need to post up some pics and words about what you are making.
