Maine Lobster Tacos with Pico de Gallo
Instructions
Let’s cook up these delicious tacos using our sustainable Maine lobster meat. Thaw lobster meat overnight in refrigeration
Fill bottom 1/3 of the tortilla with lettuce chiffonade. Next, spoon lobster meat into the tortilla, then top with a few spoonful’s of pico de gallo. Garnish each taco with sprigs of cilantro and serve with lemongrass dressing as a condiment.
Pico de Gallo
In a bowl, combine the avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions and jalapeno pepper. Add olive oil, and then lime juice to reach a bright acidity. Season with salt and pepper.
Lemongrass Dressing
In a small nonreactive saucepan, heat the oil and lemongrass over medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, and discard the lemongrass.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil, drop by drop, until the dressing begins to thicken. Add the remaining oil a little faster. When all the oil is absorbed, stir in the garlic. Taste and adjust the seasonings. The dressing should have a little heat and a bright citrusy edge.
