Using a pair of kitchen scissors, place the lobster tail belly up and cut the shell along each side of the lobster all the way to the base of the tail. Gently pull the lobster tail meat out of the shell. Remove the vein of the lobster by making a small cut along the back of the tail. For easier handling, place the lobster tails in the freezer for up to 15 minutes. This will firm up the lobster meat and make it easier to handle.
