Cooked lobster...ideas?

[grandgourmand]

I've got a three small lobsters, pre-cooked. One I'm keeping for scrambled eggs in the morning for mother's day. The other two, I was going to chop up the meat and mix in a remoulad-ey type sauce and spread on crostini. However, I'm wondering if any of my fellow CH'ers have any alternative suggestions.

I've got a well stocked pantry...quite a few fresh herbs. Lemons, avocados, etc.

I'm also making some fava bean puree to spread on crostini that I'll flavour with lemon juice, olive oil and mint. And a grilled whole trout stuffed with rosemary and aggressively salted.

Just a bit of a screwing around with food night.

I like to chop up a cooked lobster, then give it a quick stir fry in a mixture of soy sauce, chopped ginger, garlic, green onion and a bit of corn starch. I just cook it long enough to get a nice thick glaze on it but not let it get overcooked.

Make ravioli with wonton skins. Maybe make a saffron creme to drizzle over the top. Delicate and lovely.

I'm past the time, sorry, but if you are using lobster in the am, enjoy that. If you get them again, a great lobster breakfast is my lobster benedict.

I use croissants, lightly grilled or toasted, then I top it my lobster. I use a simple combo of scallions lobster, a little oj and zest and just just some fresh dill, s/p. Top the croissant with lobster mix, then top with fresh avacado slices, poached egg and top with traditional hollandaise but I make mine with orange vs lemon. I serve it with a sweet orange and blood orange salad with red onion and fresh mint on the side.

For dinner, I love Mac and cheese with lobster which was also mentioned. Good call. I also make a light lobster lasagna rolls. Basically lobster, asparagus, a little cheese and then roll in lasagna noodles and then top with a simple bechemel sauce with a little white wine, dill and lemon. It is simple and easy and honestly quick. A great side to a main course or as a main course. You can add red peppers, chives, scallions, arugula is great, anything, some herbed cheese, gruyere is great, even some pancetta to give it a depth of flavor. Lots of options.

I second the lobster rolls. Other good ideas for even more decadence - lobster mac and cheese or lobster mashed potatoes.

why not mix a few pieces with some cream cheese and make a few fried rangoons.

I've enjoyed this recipe for Lobster Newburg. Sounds similar to your crostini idea.

I would skip the fancy stuff and just make lobster rolls. This is a pretty good one:

I substitute celery for the cucumber because that's the way I prefer it. And I love the tarragon.

[grandgourmand]

Done. I've got the tarragon.

My choice by far, sounds great!

I would cook a little linguine. Sauté some shallots in butter, add some white wine or vermouth, cook down, add some cream, chunks of lobster and tarragon. Mushrooms optional. Yum!

Been there, and yes, Totally Great! I do that with shrimp all the time with whatever is in the fridge. Can't go wrong can ya? Simple and perfect all the time. And it can be a side dish also which is the best part.

I did a dinner for a couple of friends last months. Shrimp in a very similar sauce with pasta and a grilled pork tenderloin, salad and desert. Probably the easiest dinner ever. I love dinner like that.

Cooked lobster is great in crepes, ravioli, or risotto
and so many other creamy, cheesy things like thermidor
