Notes

Selecting Fresh Lobster:Always choose fresh, live lobsters when possible. If frozen, ensure they are fully thawed before cooking.
Avoid Overcooking:Lobster tails cook quickly; remove them from heat as soon as they turn opaque to prevent a rubbery texture.
Customizing the Butter:Add your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary to the cowboy butter for a unique twist.
