If lobster tails are still in their shells, carefully split the shells lengthwise using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. This allows the beer-infused steam to penetrate the meat more effectively. (3 minutes)

8 mins
Cover the saucepan tightly and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Steam the lobster tails for approximately 8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and firm to the touch. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the tails. (8 minutes)

2 mins
Carefully remove the lobster tails from the steamer basket. Serve immediately with melted butter, fresh lemon wedges, and minced garlic. Enjoy this delectable seafood delight! (2 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprig of fresh thyme or a bay leaf to the beer while it's simmering.
Ensure the lobster tails are thawed completely before steaming for even cooking.
Do not overcook the lobster, as it will become tough and rubbery. The meat should be opaque and slightly firm.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
