How much old bay seasoning do you put in water to boil lobster tail?

You don't actually need to add Old Bay seasoning to the water when boiling lobster tails.

Here's why:

* Flavor is on the lobster: The lobster itself is already flavorful. Adding Old Bay to the water won't really enhance the flavor of the lobster, it will just make the water taste like Old Bay.

* Old Bay is for serving: The best way to enjoy Old Bay seasoning with lobster is to sprinkle it on top after the lobster is cooked and served. This allows you to control how much seasoning you use and ensures that the flavor is distributed evenly on the lobster.

Here's how to boil lobster tails:

1. Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the lobster tails by at least 2 inches.

2. Add salt to the water. About 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon of water is a good rule of thumb.

3. Bring the water to a rolling boil.

4. Carefully add the lobster tails to the boiling water.

5. Cook the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes for 1-pound tails. Adjust cooking time based on the weight of your lobster tails.

6. Remove the lobster tails from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

7. Serve the lobster tails with melted butter and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning to taste.

Enjoy!
