Prep your lobster tails for cooking by cutting the shell back to expose the meat. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, carefully cut the shell lengthwise from top to bottom
Next, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Make sure to select a pot with enough space that the water will cover the lobster tails
When the water reaches a slow, steady boil - add sea salt
Slowly add each lobster tail into the pot with tongs, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. The tails should be able to move around freely in the pot of water
Bring the water back up to boil
Cook lobster tails for approximately 1 minute per ounce of lobster. The meat should look opaque white instead of translucent, and the shell should be bright red. Cooked lobster tails will have an internal temperature between 140-145 degrees Fahrenheit
Remove each tail from the pot with tongs and then lay them on a towel lined plate to dry
