Red hot baby lobster tails

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 (4-6 inch) rock lobster tails
½ cup Unsalted butter
¼ cup Minced green onions
2 Cloves (large) garlic; finely minced
1 small Red radish; finely minced
1 Lime; juice of
2 teaspoons Pequin quebrado
1 Fresh Jalapeno; seeded, ribbed; slivered very thin
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Greated Romano cheese
2 teaspoons Ground mild red chile
4 larges Sprigs watercress or other greens
1 Lime; quartered lengthwise
Additional pequin quebrado

Directions

Preheat broiler. Cut each tail in half lengthwise with a very sharp knife (leave tails unsplit at back end). Peel meat back off shells. Place tails in a broiler pan and set aside. Melt butter in a skillet. Add green onions, garlic, radish, lime juice & 2 Tsp pequin. Cook, stirring, until garlic is light golden and onions are soft but not browned. Divide ¼ of butter sauce equally among lobster shells; replace meat in shells. Then evenly divide another ¼ of butter sauce among tails, drizzling over top of each.

Sprinkle each tail with jalapeno slivers, cheese and some ground chile.

Broil 4-5 inches below heat about 5 minutes, until meat turns white in center. Place 2 tails on each plate, garnish with watercress sprig and wedge of lime, lightly rubbing lime edge in red chile. Offer remaining sauce & small dish pequin.
