Follow our instructions below to create a beautiful presentaion! How to Prepare Lobster Tails 1. If frozen, thaw tails overnight in refrigerator. 2. Using kitchen shears, trim down the center of the shell. Once you reach the tailend, make a perpendicular cut from end to end to form a T. 3. Gently pull meat away from the shell (you may need to use a pairing knife to help). 4. Leaving meat intact at the base of the tail, lift the lobster meat out and set it on top of the shell. 5. Set on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter or choice of marinade 6. Bake in a 450 oven for minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid overcooking. Lobster is done when meat is opaque.

Now, he and his father have created Colby Red to raise money for others with heart disease, with a donation going to heart health charities for every bottle sold. Drink to the health of your sweetheart and help someone else s. Salvatore Principe Moscato: This sweet sparkler is full of juicy flavors and aromas of fresh apricots, peaches, and honeysuckle. Versatile enough to compliment a brunch mimosa or dance along with a spicy Latin dinner, it will have you shouting Mi Amore! Sofia Rose: This wine screams Cupid! The color, the bottle shape and oh, the taste yes, we know you have to have it! We recommend enjoying this wine chilled and cuddling next to the fire with choclate covered strawberries from The Fresh Market. Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad Rose: Like the best relationships, this Cava is crafted over time with passion and dedication. A perfect marriage of ripe red fruit, grenadine, red currants, and a backdrop of freshly picked flowers, it comes complete with a little drama in the pewter base bottle.
