Jalapeno Spiked Lobster Food

JALAPENO-SPIKED LOBSTER

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, minced jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, lime zest, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; stir until smooth. Chill until serving.
• Combine water, chicken broth, sliced jalapeno peppers, 3 tablespoons salt, and lime in a large Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add lobsters; cook until bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove meat from lobster shells, tails, and claws. Serve with mayonnaise-cilantro mixture.

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH SALSA ROSA

Steps:

• Heat a wide saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the shallots for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly golden. Add the garlic and chiles and saute, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add the cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more, until the aromas are released but the spices are not burned. Remove pan from heat and add lime juice, butter to taste, salt and pepper. Set the mixture aside while you preheat a broiler or prepare a grill for highheat cooking.
• Cut lobsters in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Grill at high heat for approximately 8 minutes, shell side down. Then reduce the heat or move the lobsters away from the hottest part of the fire, rotating them 180 degrees to help them cook evenly, but keeping the shell side down. Grill at low heat for 5 minutes more. Spoon the spice mixture over the lobsters at the end of grilling for the last few minutes. Serve immediately with plenty of lime wedges.

LOBSTER CAKES WITH MUSTARD JALAPENO SAUCE

Steps:

Saute lobster cakes in olive oil until brown on 1 side. Flip over and finish cooking in oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with Mustard Jalapeno Sauce.
• Blend all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

JALAPENO POPPERS

• (Use gloves to work with peppers).
• Fill jalpenos with cream cheese and wrap a slice of bacon around each one.

LOBSTER BACON JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil lobsters until they turn bright red and the claws are easily pulled off, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Break lobster claws and tail removing as much meat as possible. Discard shells. Roughly chop the meat and transfer to a bowl.
• Mix melted butter, chives, and hot sauce with the lobster; season with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into the jalapeno halves and wrap each tightly with a slice of bacon, wrapping three times around each popper and trimming bacon so there is no excess hanging off the edges. Arrange onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bacon is browned, about 15 minutes.
