How does Red Lobster cook its lobster tails?
I've been a cook at redlobster for 2 years now, the Maine tails which are the smaller ones are split, wishboned, we pull the meat out so they don't stick to the shell, then they are either broiled or grilled. With the rock lobster tails we cut the shell with scissors, pull the meat and it lays on top of the shell, then they are buttered, seasoned then broiled.
