How Long Do You Boil Cook Lobster Tails?
Boiling lobster tails usually takes about 7 to 8 minutes for tails that are about 4 to 5 ounces in size. You can increase or decrease boiling time depending on the size of your lobster. For larger tails, add an extra minute or two, and for smaller tails, you can reduce the boil time by a minute or two. Be sure to fully thaw the lobster tails before boiling and add salt to the boiling water for extra flavor.
