     Thank you for sharing. I was a little worried because I have never cooked frozen lobster before and wasn't sure whether to boil or broil. Your recipe was exactly what I was hoping it would work out to be. - 3/31/13

     Excellent!! (I didn't use orange, and used garlic powder because I'm out of Cloves). I LOVE the spice that the cayenne gave it! - 1/17/13

     I added lemon to the butter as well. It was very tasty!
    The hardest part is breaking the shell to open them as butterfly, but after that is easy! yummy and would definitely make again - 2/25/11

     Normally just brush with melted butter this adds a little zest. Placed a little water in pan. Will try again and might try parmasean as someone suggested and maybe try on shrimp. - 2/12/11
