Lobster, Lobster, Lobster
We had lobsters for dinner tonight. 
They were done very simply… A LOT of minced garlic, some minced red chillis, some minced spring onions (scallions), salt and pepper, combined with softened butter, and spread over the lobsters. They were popped under the broiler for 8 minutes. That’s it. The flavors were nice without being over-powering, allowing the natural sweetness of the lobsters to come through. The lobster flesh was sweet, juicy and succulent… a sublime mid-week treat!
I’m already brimming with ideas for the other lobsters now in the freezer (all courtesy of my dad!). I can just imagine...
• Lobsters sautéed with wine, ginger and scallions
• Lobsters sautéed with black pepper
• Lobsters sautéed with black bean paste
• Chilli lobsters (a la chilli crabs)
Urgh… choices, choices…
But three cheers for dad! Thanks for the lobsters!

Renee, you're killing me! I LOVE Lobster, but can't have any seafood until after the baby is born. I won't cook it though, I can't bring myself to do that, but I will eat it if someone else cooks it for me. These pictures are just fabulous, I'm drooling!

Really? No seafood AT ALL during pregnancy? Never knew that. Would have thought fish and prawns/shrimps (in moderation) would perhaps be ok, but not things like crabs and lobsters... I've heard plenty of old wives' tales about these, but I guess pragmatically, these crustaceans are supposed to keep toxins like lead and mercury in their systems for longer periods of time and in greater quantities too (I think). So, probably not a good thing for baby...
Yeah, I just LOVE lobsters too. And no, I can't bring myself to "prepare" them for cooking either. Hmm... does that make me a hypocrite? Prepared to eat but not prepared to do the "cruel" and dirty work... Thank goodness these ones came all clean and chopped ready for cooking. (Aren't dads just the sweetest?)
