GRILLED LOBSTER AND AVOCADO COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Place lobsters on the grill, cut side down, and cook until slightly charred and just cooked through. Remove meat and coarsely chop.
• Whisk together lime juice, honey, horseradish, Worcestershire, hot sauce, tarragon, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the grilled lobster meat, avocado, and watercress. Serve in martini glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.

LOBSTER AND AVOCADO SALAD

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.

LINGUINE WITH LOBSTER AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix avocado and lemon juice in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add linguine.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add onion and jalapeño and cook on medium-low until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and continue cooking 5 minutes or so until they begin to soften and their skins start to wrinkle. Fold in lobster and avocado with its lemon juice and oil, and add 2/3 cup of the pasta water. Continue to cook on low.
• When linguine is al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet. Add scallions and cilantro and fold ingredients together until well combined, the mixture is moist but not soupy, and only a little of the avocado has melted down. Check your salt and pepper, then serve.

LOBSTER AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Gently toss the lobster, mangoes, lime juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and avocados in a large bowl and let marinate for no more than 30 minutes in the refrigerator; lightly season with salt, if necessary. In a bowl, toss the mâche with 2 teaspoons lemon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
• To serve, divide the dressed mâche equally between the tortillas, top with lobster filling, garnish with truffle shavings, and arrange in a taco holder. Or, lean the filled shells in a row, propped upright, on a platter. Eat right away. To build your own, place some greens and filling in a tortilla, garnish with truffles, and eat right away.
