Lobster Tails and Shrimp

The lobster was boiled for 1 minute per ounce of total weight. Easy huh! We dipped it in butter and it was wonderful.

The Shrimp

Uncooked shrimp (1 lb)
For the Brine
1/4 c kosher salt
1/4 c sugar
1 c water
2 c ice
Olive Oil

Shell and devein the shrimp (I make sure when I buy them they are already this way) Place the cleaned shrimp into a bowl withe the brine ingredients and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes.
Place a baking sheet or boiler pan under the oven broiler and preheat for 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the brine and drain thoroughly. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and dry on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil.
Place shrimp on to the sizzling sheet pan and return to broiler immdeiately. After 2 minutes, turn the shrimp with a pair of tongs. Return to the broiler for 1 minute. Serve hot or cold.
