If you’re making your own mayo or butter sauce, the best way to do this is in a food processor. You’ll need: 1 egg yolk (or two if you want more of a creamy texture), lemon juice (about 1 tbsp), olive oil (about 1/2 cup) and salt & pepper to taste

Lobster tails should be cooked for 15 minutes at 450 degrees

To cook lobster tails, it is best to use a cooking temperature of 450 degrees. This is an ideal temperature for cooking lobster tails because it will allow the meat to cook all the way through without drying out or burning. If you do not have access to a thermometer and want to know if your lobster tail has reached this temperature, simply poke it with a fork; if the meat feels firm but not hard when poked with a fork then it is done!

If you’re unsure whether or not your lobster tails have been cooked long enough, they’ll be tough and chewy if they haven’t been cooked through yet–so make sure you test them before serving!
