Serves 2

| Ingredients |
Measure |
| (2) Frozen Lobster Tails |
16 ounce |
| Water |
½ cup |
| Butter Or Margaine |
¼ cup |
| Lemon Juice |
1 tablespoon |
| Finely Shredded Orange Peel |
½ teaspoon |
| Salt |
⅛ teaspoon |
| Dash Ground Ginger |
1 |
| Dash Paprika |
1 |
Preparation
- Place frozen lobster tails in a shallow baking dish.
- Micro-cook, covered, on 30% power for 7 to 8 minutes or till thawed, rotating dish a quarter-turn once. The tails are thawed when the shells are flexible enough to bend.
- Using a heavy knife, cut through the center of the top shells. Continue cutting through meat but not through undersehells.
- Spread the tails open, butterfly style, so meat is on top.
- Return to shallow baking dish. Pour water atop. Micro-cook, covered, on 50% power for 6 to 8 minutes or just till meat is opaque, rotating dish a quarter-turn every minute. (Shield cooked meat with small pieces of foil, if necessary, to prevent overcooking.)
- Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine butter or margarine, lemon juice, orange peel, salt, ginger and paprika. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or till butter is melted.
- Mix well. Drizzle lobster tails with butter mixture.
