Lobster Mango Stir Fry With Coconut Butter Johnny Cake Recipes

SPICY LOBSTER CAKES WITH MANGO AND AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook until they curl up and the meat is white, about 8 minutes. Transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process, about 2 minutes. Remove the meat from the shells, chop into small pieces and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chives, tarragon, mustard, cayenne, shallot, lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Add the lobster meat, melted butter and 1 cup of the panko and mix to combine.
• Put the remaining 1 cup panko on a baking sheet. Form the lobster mixture into appetizer-size cakes (about 1/4 cup each), coat the cakes in the panko and place on a plate or baking sheet.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches and adding oil as needed, fry the lobster cakes on each side until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve topped with the Mango and Avocado Salsa.
• Add the cilantro, mango, jalapeno and lime juice to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into a medium bowl, add the scallions, avocado and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.

CANTONESE STYLE LOBSTER

Steps:

• Rinse the lobster, and hold it belly up. At the bottom of the tail, there is a small opening, stick a long skewer in it to drain any urine left in its' body, then crack the tail off, chop the tail into small pieces, and crack the claws in half as well. If you know how to eat the body of the lobster, cut it up and throw it on the pile too.
• Heat half of the peanut oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, and fry for about 1 minute. Throw in the lobster pieces, and fry until they are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lobster and garlic mixture to a dish and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the minced ginger and pork, and fry until the pork is no longer pink. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and brown sugar until well blended. Add the sherry mixture to the pan, and stir-fry for a minute or two, until the sauce becomes thick and somewhat clear.
• Stir in the green onions, and turn the heat off. Drizzle the beaten eggs over the mixture in the pan, and stir until the eggs are in little pieces. Finally, return the lobster to the pan, and cook over low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, and let stand, covered, for a few minutes before serving. Eat with steamed rice and enjoy, cause you worked hard!
