Ingredients
- 4 frozen lobster tails, thawed
- 1L seafood or chicken stock
- Thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
- 1 tsp turmeric (fresh, grated, or ground)
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Fresh coriander or spring onion, to serve
How to make it
- Combine the stock, ginger, turmeric, garlic, and lime juice in a pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it infuse for a few minutes.
- Add the lobster tails to the broth. Poach gently for 6–8 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and just cooked through. Keep the broth at a light simmer, not a hard boil.
- Lift the lobster tails into a bowl and ladle the warm broth over the top.
- Finish with coriander or spring onion and serve with steamed rice, if you like.
Tips for the best result
- Keep the broth at a gentle simmer the whole time. Boiling too hard can toughen the lobster.
- Use fresh ginger and turmeric where you can, for the best flavour.
- Don’t overcrowd the pot, so each tail cooks evenly.
Why poaching works so well
Poaching cooks frozen lobster tails gently at a lower temperature, helping the meat stay tender while allowing the broth to infuse subtle flavour. It is a simple way to create easy seafood meals and a light, healthy seafood dinner that is perfect for winter warmers.
