cooking lobster tails?

[pas2]

I bought some 5 oz mini lobster tails for dinner but do not know the correct way to cook them. I always do them on the grill but it is way to cold to stand outside tonight! Please help me with alternate ways to cook these little honeys and the approximate times. I heard they can be done in the microwave, any one try this?

I am NOT at all an expert. In fact, I am planning to try this for the first time tonight myself. My good friend cooked them like this last night: simply drop them in boiling water for 7-9 minutes.

Never tried the microwave but have done lobster tails in boiling water a number of times. 7-9 minutes sounds about right, they should be a nice reddish color by then.

Years ago a local restaurant (that has since changed hands) had the best lobster tails. They deep fried them. They were just dropped in the oil in the shell (the shell was split down the middle)
