Lobster Salad Fish Tacos Recipes

LOBSTER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Cut lobster tails in half lengthwise along the spine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill until slightly charred and shells are bright in color, about 5 minutes. Remove lobster meat from the shells and chop coarsely.
• Combine chile sauce, 1/2 the tomato, and green onions in a large bowl. Mix in chopped lobster meat.
• Divide Colby-Monterey Jack cheese evenly among tortillas. Top each tortilla with some of the lobster mixture. Fold tacos over and grill until cheese melts and tortillas are lightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Garnish with remaining tomato, avocado, and shredded lettuce.

LOBSTER TACOS

Steps:

• Start by soaking the minced onion in the lime juice. Sprinkle salt over it and mix well. Now cut all your other vegetables. Doing it this way will take the sting out of the onions.
• Chop all your other vegetables and add them to the bowl with the lime juice and onions. Mix well and add salt to taste. Have this ready for the lobster.
• Heat your tortillas now. If you are making your own, make them after the salpicon but before you steam the lobster.
• Set a steamer tray in a pot and pour enough water to come up to just below the level of the tray. Cover the pot and bring this to a boil. Lift the lid, set the lobster tails on the tray, cover the pot and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. Big Maine lobster tails can take 15 minutes, but little Caribbean or Pacific lobster tails will only take about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a little pot. When the lobster is ready, remove it from the shells and cut into bite-sized pieces. Put the lobster in a bowl and toss with the melted butter.
• Mix the lobster with the salpicon, add it to tortillas and have at it!

GRILLED LOBSTER AND SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• In a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, chipotle peppers, 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, then paddle the mixture until the ingredients are distributed evenly.
• In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, tequila, olive oil, minced cilantro and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread a heaping tablespoon of the butter mixture onto each lobster split. Put the lobster butter-side up on the grill, along with the shrimp. Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the lobster until the butter is melted and the meat is just heated through. Remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop into 3/4-inch pieces.
• Grill the tortillas until warmed. Assemble the tacos by distributing the lobster and shrimp among the tortillas, then topping with the radishes, sliced avocado, Fresno chile slices, cilantro leaves and sour cream mixture. Serve with a lime wedge.

LOBSTER SALAD (FISH TACOS)

Steps:

• Cook you lobsters and remove all of the meat. When I use this for tacos I break up the meat pretty small. Chill the lobster in the refrigerator for about 30 mins to an hour then add the other ingredients to the lobster meat in a bowl and mix.
• I use small flour tortillas and a pico de gallo with plenty of lime to make my tacos.
