Lobster Tails for tea ...

Wanting to try new things, I bought and cooked lobster tails for the first time this evening (as they are in season and it is short).  They come from the Maritime region - not too far north of Maine, known for its lobster.  When food is hot and on the plate, I like as little time as possible to elapse between plate/fork/mouth, but in order to enjoy this experience, I cast aside the usual rules about not 'working' to get the food (out of a shell, from a skewer, from a cob etc). 

Ready for the pot.

Five minutes after that ...

I spent just over $12 for the three, so I won't be doing it again, but they were delicious!
