Saucy Lobster Dainties

  1. Broil lobster tails for one minute per oz. While lobster tails broil, fill a large bowl halfway with water and ice.

  2. Place lobster tails in the water and ice immediately after removing from the broiler to cool the meat.

  3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine peppers, cheeses, oregano, garlic and Picante sauce. Stir well until incorporated.

  5. Remove the lobster tails from the ice bath once they are cool to the touch.

  6. Using the kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top of a tail shell lengthwise, starting at the left side of the tail. Cut across the bottom of the tail and then back up the other side so that you cut a rectangle out from the top of the shell. Repeat with the other two tails.

  7. Carefully scoop the meat out the tail with a small spoon, taking care not to tear or crack the shell.

  8. Set the shells aside and place the meat onto a cutting board. Chop the meat and add it to the other ingredients, mixing well.

  9. Use a spoon to scoop the mixture back into the lobster shells.

  10. Place the filled shells on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for eight minutes.

  11. Serve warm.
