1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Time 45m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 2-pound live lobsters
Salt to taste, if desired
1 pound romaine lettuce
1 cup finely chopped green onions or scallions
2 firm, ripe, unblemished avocados, about 3/4 pound each
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped
1/2 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring enough water to the boil to cover the lobsters when added. Add the lobsters and salt and cover. When the water returns to the boil, let the lobsters simmer 12 minutes. Let stand five to 10 minutes and drain the lobsters well.
  • Meanwhile, cut away and discard the core of the lettuce. Cut the leaves lengthwise into quarters. Cut the leaves crosswise into very fine shreds. There should be about six to seven cups.
  • Remove the meat from the lobster shells. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. There should be about four cups.
  • Put the lettuce in a salad bowl. Arrange the lobster pieces on top and add the green onions or scallions. Toss lightly.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Discard the pits. Peel the halves. Cut each half lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Arrange the avocado slices neatly over the salad. Sprinkle with the basil.
  • To make the salad dressing, put the mustard, vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the egg. Blend the oils. Start beating with a wire whisk while gradually adding the oil.
  • Serve the salad and salad dressing separately if desired. Or toss the salad with the dressing.

1 cup finely chopped sweet pepper, preferably red
7 cups crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

LOBSTER PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES AND BASIL



Lobster Pasta With Yellow Tomatoes and Basil image

This is an uncomplicated dish for warm weather and sunny days. Olive oil, garlic, hot pepper, barely warmed tomatoes and tons of fresh basil are the only ingredients besides lobster and dried pasta, preferably a variety with a bit of texture, like frilly edged reginette, cooked perfectly al dente. The only real work is cooking the lobsters and chopping the meat. Once that's done, go out and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lobsters, 1 1/4 pounds each, or 1 pound cooked lobster meat
1 pound sturdy pasta, like mafaldine, reginetti, lasagnetti, long ziti, macaroni, bucatini or rigatoncini
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups chopped yellow tomato or halved yellow cherry tomatoes
Salt and pepper
2 handfuls basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped

  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta.
  • Meanwhile, pour olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh lobster and avocado. If you can't find fresh lobster, frozen lobster is a good substitute. Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the lobster properly: Lobster is a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook it properly. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery. The best way to cook lobster is to steam it. You can also boil it, but be careful not to overcook it.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the lobster and avocado. A simple butter sauce or a creamy tomato sauce are both good options.
  • Don't skimp on the avocado: Avocado is a key ingredient in this dish, so don't skimp on it. Use a ripe avocado that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a pop of color and flavor to this dish. Use whatever herbs you like, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives.

Conclusion:

Linguine with lobster and avocado is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give this recipe a try.
