  1. 1

    Assemble the ingredients.

    Pour about 1 inch of water into the bottom of a large stockpot and bring it to a boil. Add salt and set a steamer insert in the pot so it sits just above the water level. Arrange the lobster tails on the steamer rack and cover the pot.

    Steam the lobster tails for 8 minutes (do not peek!).

  4. 4

    Take the lobster tails off the steamer and serve with melted butter.
