Q: How to use chilled lobster meat?

[reefseal]

I'm looking for ways to use up left over lobster meat.

Anyone have any good recipes for chilled lobster meat? (besides just sprinkling over salad..)

Was thinking of using cocktail sauce but think that will just over power the taste of lobster.

I would like to make a lobster roll sandwiches but just mixing in plain ol' mayo seems too boring. Anyone have a good recipe for lobster salad??

Getting tired of just eating steamed w/ butta..

Gee, I've never had that problem. Whenever I have lobster, there's never any left over to worry about!

Mix some chopped lobster meat with alfredo sauce and serve over fettucinni.

Also this would be good. Make Paella. stir fry some chorizo sausage ( a spicy spanish sausage) in some olve oil, remove from pan when done, then cook some chicken in the pan, when its done, cook more chorizo (the flavor of the sausgae gets in the oil and flavors your other foods. Then you make a sofrita. Chop finely some garlic, onions, red and green peppers and cook until almost transparent, you know before they caramelize. Add in your sausgae and chicken and one cup of rice. mix it all together and then add 3 cups of water or chicken broth to cook the rice. add some cooked shrimp, lobster, and mussels (in the shells) and some safron (just a bit for color). stir it all up. You can marinate your chicken in cuban mojo marinade if you want (its good stuff, let me know if you don't have it there and i can mail you some).

Last you can make lobster kabobs. Make sure if you use wooden sticks to soak the sticks in water first so they don't burn on the grill.

It's hot here, I'm hoping for something cold can slop into a roll or put atop a salad..

Tx for Paella idea.. Love Paella Valencia. Actually, we can get Chorizo and Safron and Mojo Criollo here (Goya), even in Nueva Hampshire. What I can't get that you can get plenty of in your neck of woods is a decent Sandwich Cubano or Media Noche.

Though I wonder how Maine Lobster meat is like in Paella.. The Paella purists may snub there nose at it. I think of Langostino or spiny lobster you get in your waters as being more traditional.

Make a Newburg Sauce. Possibly mix in some gently sauteed (not fried) red, green and orange peppers.

Fold in Lobster after sauce is prepared. Heat over very low flame (too high and sauce will seperate and lobster will become tough)

Serve in those Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Shells. Alternative, if you're feeling ambitious, make you own puff pastry and serve in that.

I just returned from a week down in Brewster and did lobster rolls for 18 people. I think the classic lobster salad/lobster roll is best, and easy. They were a hit (and how could they not be?!)

I always kinda eyeball quantities, when it looks/tastes right you're done:

lobster meat
celery
cucumber (if you like it)
dash of lemon juice
pepper
dash of salt

Gotta have the hot dog bun that's split on the side not on top. That way you can smother the hell out of the bun with butter and grill it (a must).

Enjoy!

That's what I'm looking for. Will try tonight. Too hot to cook/grill. Have just enough lobsta that need. Thanks.

yes, that sounds like the perfect thing to do for cold leftover lobster.

Reefseal, we're diving Cathedral Rocks tomorrow. Any interest? I'll point out all the lobsters for you...

Everyone is welcome to join us dive tomorrow at Cathedral Rocks... especially those with lobster licenses.
