Salad
2 uncooked spiny lobster tails
2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon onion, grated
paprika

Preparation

Thaw lobster if frozen. Cut lobster tails in half, down the middle of the shell lengthwise. Bend tail backward to crack sharply in several places; this prevents curling during cooking. Arrange in glass or other microwave serving dish. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter. Combine remaining tablespoon of butter, bread crumbs, cheese and onion. Spread bread crumb mixture over surface of the lobster meat. Sprinkle with paprika.

Microwave 2 minutes on high. Rotate dish one-half turn. Microwave 2 additional minutes on high.
