Ingredients

1 each lobster tails frozen, 8 oz
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon orange zest finely shredded
1 x salt
1 x ginger ground
1 x paprika

Directions

Place lobster tail in shallow baking dish. Micro-cook, covered, on 30% power about 5 minutes or till thawed, rotating dish a quarter-turn once. The tail is thawed when the shell is flexible enough to bend. Using a heavy knife, cut through the center of the top shell. Continue cutting through meat, but not through undershell. Spread the tail open, butterfly-style, so meat is on top. Return to shallow baking dish. Pour water on top. Micro-cook, covered, on 50% of power for 5 to 7 minutes or just till meat is opaque, rotating dish a quarter-turn every minute. (Shield cooked meat with small pieces of foil, if necessary, to prevent overcooking.) Let stand covered for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine butter or margarine, lemon juice, orange peel, salt, ginger, and paprika. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 30 to 45 seconds, or till butter is melted. Mix well. Drizzle lobster tail with butter mixture.

Almond-Crusted Chicken Breasts

A superb and easy-to-follow recipe. The directions for reducing the chicken drippings to a sauce were clear, and the sauce that I made was better than anything I've ever made. Part of the reason for the success, I think, was the very thick-bottomed frying pan that I used, a new pan for me. But the recipe was the biggest ingredient. It was a superb dish!
