Question: how long does it take to boil a 1 pound lobster tail?
Answer: About the same amount of time as for boiling: 5 - 12 minutes, depending on size. A whole lobster will take approximately 7 minutes per pound. Do I boil frozen lobster tails one pound each? You could, but it is not recommended to boil a lobster tail that is frozen, because the meat will turn hard and chewy.
