  FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: For 8 ounces cooked lobster meat,
  start with two 8-ounce fresh or frozen lobster tails. Thaw
  lobster, if frozen. Preheat broiler. Butterfly the lobster
  tails by cutting through the center of the hard top shells
  and meat. Spread the tail halves apart. Place lobster
  tails, meat sides up, on the unheated rack of a broiler
  pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 12 to 14 minutes or
  until lobster meat is opaque. Remove meat from shells.
