This is mostly rating the Lemon Butter Sauce. As my lobster tails were already fresh I did not use the boiling method. Since I live in FL we make lobster all the time, all different ways, from boiled to grilled (my favorite!). The sauce was AWESOME! Never thought about the splash of hot sauce...made a great diff. Thanks so much!

I made hubby and I these for New Years Eve dinner with some steamed King crab legs too. I doubled the lemon butter so we would have extra for dipping the crab meat. WOW!!! This was sooooooo good!!! The only thing I did different was add some minced garlic cause we are garlic lovers =) This a keeper for sure, Thanks and Happy New Year!!

My name is Jill. When I discovered Recipezaar, and that you can 'sort' recipes by 'rating' it really got my attention. I am building a collection of five star (rated by 100 or more users on this site) :) recipes. This is quite an improvement over frozen entrees from the microwave for lunch!!! I tell everyone I can about this site, so they can reap the benefits too!
