Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 2 lobster tails and cook until shells turn bright red and meat is opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer lobster tails to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cool, use kitchen shears to cut along the shell and remove the meat. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 3 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the 6 cups mixed greens with half of the dressing until lightly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the dressed greens on plates, top with the lobster meat, and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of paprika or chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
