Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
Add lobster tails and simmer 6-8 minutes until shells turn bright red and meat is opaque
Cool lobster tails slightly
Using a small knife, loosen meat from shells and chop into bite-sized pieces
In a bowl, mix lobster meat with softened butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper
Toasting rolls: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, briefly warm rolls until golden and crisp

For best flavor, avoid overcooking lobster meat
