Using kitchen shears, cut straight down the center of each lobster tail shell from the open end to just before the tail fan. Use your thumbs to gently spread the shell apart and lift the meat up and over the shell, resting it on top while keeping it attached at the base — this is the butterfly cut that exposes the meat for even broiling.
