Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 lobster tail and 2 tablespoons dipping sauce)

Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 3/4  teaspoon  dry mustard
  • 1/2  teaspoon  water
  • 3  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1  tablespoon  plum sauce
  • 1  tablespoon  dry sherry
  • 3/4  teaspoon  minced peeled fresh ginger

  • Lobster:
  • 2  (8-ounce) frozen lobster tails, thawed
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  teaspoon  vegetable oil
  • 1/4  teaspoon  dark sesame oil
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • Sliced green onions (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

To prepare sauce, combine mustard and water in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Stir in soy sauce, plum sauce, sherry, and ginger; set aside.

To prepare lobster, make a lengthwise cut through the top of each lobster shell using kitchen shears, cutting to, but not through, lobster meat; press shell open. Place the lobster tails, cut sides up, in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Combine the oils and pepper, and spoon over the lobster meat.

Bake at 425° for 13 minutes or until the lobster meat turns opaque. Serve lobster with sauce, and garnish with onions, if desired.

This sauce is amazing. I made the entire recipe exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing - except doubling the sauce! I think it would work great with chicken as well.12/23/08

I've always been hesitant to cook my own lobster, but my husband and I tried this recipe for Valentine's Day. It was so easy, and the lobster tasted fantastic! The sauce is great too, although I prefer old fashioned butter for dipping. We'd like to make the sauce to use with chicken sometime. Excellent recipe...will make this again!03/14/08
