Lobster Tacos

Apparently someone owed Donna big, she came home from the dive shop with them and gave them to me:grin:. She'll eat them, but doesn't really care one way or the other. Oh darn! They were pretty big tails! I grilled them on Homey and pulled them off very rare.


I chilled them down overnight (Well, after a healthy sampling:biggrin1

I made up a pico de gallo using tomato, avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, onion, Tabasco, salt, black pepper, and key lime juice.


The bugs


I sauteed some sweet onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and salt in evoo. The lobster meat was added, after the onions were soft, just until hot.


I took flour tortillas into a CI skillet and melted queso and cheddar cheeses on them. Once melted, I wrapped a hard corn tortilla with the cheesy flour tortilla.



The tacos were first layered with the pico de gallo, followed with a generous helping of the succulent white and orange lobster. Served with sour cream, chilled lettuce, and thin slices of red onion. Twas really nice. I hope who ever owed her isn't paid up yet! Thanks for looking.

I love seeing how you cut those tails. How long were they on the grill..I know it couldn't have been long. Did you add any butter before the flip. Do share any grilling secrets for those babies.

I really don't time them. I've cooked tails the same size that cook totally different from each other. I generally start meat down and finish shell down. Usually hit the meat then(when meat is up) with butter. I do cheat in that I peak with a small knife to see the doneness, I pull when there is still a bit of translucency. Let 'em rest and griz.
