Under the Sea with Sebastian…oh wait, he was a crab…

Growing up Red Lobster was one of my favorite restaurants.  Not sure why- maybe it was the applesauce appetizer that came with the kids’ meals or the popcorn shrimp I loved or perhaps it was just the image of the classic lobster draped over the words of the restaurant that brought a sense of familiarity.  Of course we never ordered the lobster because it was very likely the most expensive thing on the menu.
Luckily times have changes and lobster tails have become incredibly inexpensive lately.  I discovered Sun Harvest, a local grocery store with ridiculous bargains (think Trader Joe’s meets GNC and add in clientele no younger than 60).  Anytime they have a deal on lobster tails, I buy in bulk ($3.99 each!).  They’re fast and easy to cook and who doesn’t like lobster?  This particular meal was pretty simple: broiled lobster tail with butter and spices, angel hair pasta with tomatoes/garlic/olive oil, and green beans/baby bella mushrooms.  I’m still trying to get the timing right in cooking the lobster because often they cook so quickly that it becomes overdone.  Any tips?
