Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 hot dog buns, split and lightly toasted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, kill each lobster by pressing the tip of a heavy chef's knife in the crack just behind the eyes in the center of the carapace. Press down firmly, then split head in half. Using kitchen towels, twist off tail and claws from carapace. Save carapace for another use. Press each tail flat against the cutting board and insert wooden skewers along their entire length to keep them straight.
