Question: how do you cook a 1 pound lobster tail?
Answer: Brush the lobster with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika if desired. Place lobster tails in a baking dish, then add just enough water or wine to cover the bottom of the pan, about ½ cup. Bake until the flesh is firm and pinkish-white, about 1 to 2 minutes per ounce.
