Grilled Lobster Salad With Avocado And Papaya Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and pit the avocados and slice the flesh into 10 wedges. Peel and seed the papaya and slice the flesh into 12 wedges.
• Juice the limes into a non-reactive bowl, add red onion and ginger to bloom for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Fill a tall pot with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Add lobster, cover, and steam until tender, about 20 minutes. Rinse, cool, and cut lobster meat into chunks. Chill for at least 15 minutes.
• Mix vinegar, oil, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper together to make the dressing.
• Mix chilled lobster with the dressing and gently mix in avocado. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the mustard, shallots, vinegar and lime juice. Slowly whisk in the grapefruit oil and the extra-virgin olive oil. Do not worry if the dressing is not perfectly emulsified. Stir in the herbs, salt and pepper. Set the vinaigrette aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Preheat grill to high or preheat the broiler.
• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. With a spoon carefully remove the avocado meat. Reserve the shells. Cut the avocado into 1/3-inch dice and place in a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and cover closely with plastic wrap.
• Remove the lobster meat from tail and parboil for 1 minute or until no longer translucent. Place lobster meat on the grill basting with butter just long enough to get a little grill flavor (about 1 minute per side). If cooking indoors, broil until lightly golden.
• Remove lobster from the grill and dice into approximately the same sized cubes as the avocado.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the avocado, lobster, red bell pepper, jicama and onion. Drizzle in half of the vinaigrette and carefully stir to mix evenly. Taste for seasoning and add more dressing or salt or pepper, as needed. Generously stuff the avocado shells. This can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
• Place a bed of butter lettuce on chilled salad plates and place avocado half in center of plate. Scatter the lettuce with pine nuts, onion and tomatoes. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the avocados lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Slice the papayas widthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange overlapping slices on a serving platter, alternating slices of avocado and papaya.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Spoon the dressing over the avocado and papaya. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To cook the lobster tails, fill a medium pot three-quarters of the way with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, the shallot, Old Bay, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully put the lobster tails into the boiling water and cook until the shells turn orange, 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the tails from the pot and put them on a cutting board to cool.
• Turn the lobster tails with the underside (the soft shell side) facing up. With kitchen scissors, cut lengthwise down the center of the shell and pull out the meat. Cut the lobster meat into 1/2-inch chunks. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the watercress, avocado, and papaya. Drizzle with the dressing, tossing with your hands to dress the salad lightly and evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad equally among 4 large chilled plates. Top with the pickled onions, lobster chunks, and nuts.
• Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Puree on high speed until thick and creamy and the color of jade, roughly 1 minute.

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.
