Lobster BLT Board
STEAM THE LOBSTER TAILS
Bring 2 inches of water to boil in a stock pot. Place the lobster tails in a steamer basket, and lower into the boiling water. The tails should be at least 1 inch above the boiling water. Put the lid on the pot, and steam for 8 minutes. Remove immediately and let cool. Use cooking shears to cut through, and discard the outer shell.
MIX THE LOBSTER SALAD
TIP: Make sure you press dry all of your vegetables before add them to the salad. There is a lot of water in celery that can cause your mixture to have too much liquid.
-Lobster: Cut the lobster tails into small pieces, and place in a mixing bowl.
-Lemon: Cut in ½. Squeeze half into a small bowl, and remove any seeds from the juice. Pour into the mixing bowl. Cut the other half into lemon wheels for garnish.
-Celery: Trim the tops and bottoms off the stalk, and discard. Cut the stalk into quarters, lengthwise, and use a sharp knife to thinly slice.
-Scallions: Trim the tops and bottoms of the scallions, and discard. Use a knife or cooking shears to mince.
-Tarragon: Remove leaves from stem, and use cooking shears to cut into small pieces.
Whether you are cooking for 2 or 20, the Lobster BLT board is a great way to set the stage for a DIY sandwich creation, letting guests fill their buns with whatever they want!
