Lobster is a delicious and decadent dish, but oddly enough, really simple to make. I made this dish with medium sized raw lobster tails and cut a slit on the back of the lobster and pulled out the lobster meat to sit on top of the shell. Then I placed the tails in a colander and set the colander over a pot with about an inch of boiling water and steamed the lobster tails for about 10 minutes, or until the lobster shells turned a bright red and lobster became opaque.
