Lobster Meat - Prep Ideas
While fresh lobster can be time-consuming to prepare, frozen lobster keeps for months in your freezer and is ready to cook at any time. We'll show you how easy it is to make a quick, delicious lobster dish with Red's Best pre-cooked, frozen tail, claw, and knuckle meat. First, Thaw It Completely — Lobster meat needs to stay frozen until you’re just about ready to use it. We suggest thawing the night before you want to cook it, or dumping a bag of it in a bowl of cool water an hour or two before you need it. This keeps your lobster from decaying if thawed too early.

Ingredients

Directions

You can cook lobster meat in a variety of ways. Boiling, steaming, and roasting are all popular cooking methods for frozen lobster meat. 

For boiling, simply bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the lobster meat, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked. 

For steaming, place the lobster meat in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 8-10 minutes.

Roasting is a bit more involved, but it can produce a delicious and crispy crust on the outside of the lobster meat. To roast frozen lobster meat, preheat the oven to 400°F and place the meat on a baking sheet. Roast the lobster for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and the exterior is golden brown.

When cooking frozen lobster meat, it is important to remember that overcooking can cause the meat to become tough and rubbery. To ensure that your lobster meat is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. The meat should reach an internal temperature of 145°F to be fully cooked.

Cooking frozen lobster meat is a quick and convenient way to enjoy the delicate flavor of lobster. Whether you boil, steam, or roast the lobster meat, just remember to avoid overcooking it to retain its sweet and succulent flavor.
