For enhanced flavor, try adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary to the boiling water. To clarify butter, melt it slowly over low heat. Skim off the foamy solids from the top and carefully pour off the clear butter, leaving the milky solids at the bottom of the pan. The steaming time may vary slightly depending on the size of the lobster tails. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the tail; it should be opaque and slightly firm. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant presentation.
