LOBSTER TACOS
This is a simple lobster taco recipe that you can play around with. I prefer to steam the lobster and then douse it in melted butter, but you could also grill it.

Steps:
- Start by soaking the minced onion in the lime juice. Sprinkle salt over it and mix well. Now cut all your other vegetables. Doing it this way will take the sting out of the onions.
- Chop all your other vegetables and add them to the bowl with the lime juice and onions. Mix well and add salt to taste. Have this ready for the lobster.
- Heat your tortillas now. If you are making your own, make them after the salpicon but before you steam the lobster.
- Set a steamer tray in a pot and pour enough water to come up to just below the level of the tray. Cover the pot and bring this to a boil. Lift the lid, set the lobster tails on the tray, cover the pot and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. Big Maine lobster tails can take 15 minutes, but little Caribbean or Pacific lobster tails will only take about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a little pot. When the lobster is ready, remove it from the shells and cut into bite-sized pieces. Put the lobster in a bowl and toss with the melted butter.
- Mix the lobster with the salpicon, add it to tortillas and have at it!

This dish is sort of like a lobster quesadilla, with a yellow tomato-chipotle salsa and lobster meat served in warm corn tortillas.

Steps:
- Whisk together the lime zest and juice, chipotle, honey and olive oil in a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion and cilantro and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Heat grill to high.
- Brush the lobster flesh with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put on the grill, flesh side down, and grill until slightly charred and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the shell and coarsely chop. Put the chopped lobster into a bowl, along with the green onions and mix to combine.
- Put the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly divide the cheese over the surface. Put a few heaping tablespoons of the lobster in the center. Fold the tortillas over, brush the tops with oil and grill, oil side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute. Brush the top side of the tortillas with oil, flip over and continue grilling until slightly charred and cheese just melts. Arrange the tortillas on a serving platter and garnish with cilantro.

- Combine mayo and lemon in a bowl, to your taste. Fold mayo into lobster meat (you just want a light coating, not swimming). Adjust seasoning.

Steps:
- To make the corn tortillas: Mix corn masa with water to make tortilla dough. Form a ball using 1 ounce of the dough. Place it into the tortilla press to form 1 tortilla and transfer onto a hot grill until it is well cooked on both sides. The tortilla will be soft and puffed when done.
- For Chicken Fajita Filling: First, marinate the chicken breast in lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oil, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, red chilies and liquid smoke. After marinated and cooked on both sides on the grill, cut into thin strips.
- For tomatillo Sauce: Roast the tomatillos and serrano peppers on the grill. Use Mexican stone bowl mortar to mash up the ingredients. Mash all the ingredients, keeping it chunky. Add salt to taste. To assemble Tacos Al Carbon: Fill 1 tortilla with the chicken and tomatillo sauce and roll.

Disappointed by restaurant lobster tacos, I created this recipe for great at-home lobster tacos my family enjoys. I used my grill pan for cooking inside.
