Lobster Boil!

Summer in New York City is right around the corner and nothing to better celebrate the new season than an old fashioned Lobster Boil!

Steamed Lobsters with Spanish Potatoes, Corn on the Cob & Salad

Ingredients

(3) 1.5 Live Maine Lobster (preferably from The Lobster Place on Bleeker)
3 Whole corn on the cob halved
Kosher Salt
1 large pot 3/4 filled with water
1 12 oz. bottle of Wheat Beer

Boil Water over high heat.  Once water is boiling add kosher salt & lobsters, head first.  Add beer, corn and cover.  Cook for 18-20 minutes and drain. Serve immediately.
















Spanish Potatoes


Ingredients
  • 3 Large russet potatoes peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 cup of canola oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Old Bay Seasoning
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium high heat.  Once oil is heated (test by dripping a water drop into oil from your hand.  If it starts to bubble oil is hot enough.) place potatoes in a single layer in oil.  Cook potatoes by flipping once.  Once potatoes are brown remove from oil and place on a plate layered with paper towel.  Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt on potatoes and cover.  Repeat until all potatoes are cooked.  





























Mixed Greens Salad

Tilapia Fish Tacos

Lahaina Beach House.  One of the last true great places on earth.  I've only been here once..actually happened to be twice in one day for that matter a couple years back while I was in San Diego for a HR recruiting show (SHRM as many of you know it).  Lahaina is known for two things; ultimate sunsets as you can see from the video below, and the most fantastic fish tacos ever!  



Here's my version.

Ingredients:


2 large pieces of Fresh Tilapia
S&P
Little Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 head of Red Cabbage Sliced Thin
Diced red onion
Halved Grape Tomatos
Favorite Salsa
Fresh Lime Juice
Fresh Tortillas

Over medium heat in a cast iron pan cook Tilapia on both sides until Flakey. Heat tortillas in a non stick pan and make tacos.  Top with fresh lime juice.
