I saw some decent sized lobster tails on special at the local market today. I was also gently reminded that I met Cray Cray eight months ago just before I left the house. As a kid my mom and her man, Jim celebrate milestones and anniversaries with lobster. So why not? I love lobster. So does Cray Cray. I surprised her. She did say this "How come I have to eat all of my surprises and gifts?"
Cuz yer lucky girl, Cray Cray and I dig the hell out of you. Thats why. (Not sure I said it just like that but I meant to).
in order to get a good broil on you need to get the meat out of the shell. I snipped the bottom rings so it would not curl and cut the top shell. I par boiled or more like steamed the lobster in a skillet in a small amount of water. Pulled the meat out and put a pat of butter on them before putting under the broiler on hi setting, all in the same skillet. When they had color they were done. I placed them on the plate and mixed the left over juice with more drawn butter for dipping. In that flavorful skillet I dropped some fresh spinach and wilted it... and we had a nice meal. more like a snack. We had already sat down to a half wedge of iceberg, tomato, cucumber, and bacon salad with a side of baked sweet potato shoe string fries I made from fresh sweet potato.
A couple of strawberry vodka soda's to wash it down. Light meal. But tasty.
I cooked some fresh strawberry's in water and a little honey, pureed, then strained and cooled in the fridge. We added this to the vodka soda with a squeeze of lime. And Cray Cray got me a camera so I can post better photos from here on out. My blackberry camera just aint cutting it.
