The simplest way to enjoy Lobster is boiled then dipped in melted butter. It is also the main ingredient in soup, bisque, lobster rolls and salads. Good recipes 2 link:

*Lobster Newburg

*Lobster Thermidor

*Lobster Salad

*Lobster Bisque

According to the Guinness World Records, the largest lobster ever caught was in Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing 44.4 lbs.

How is lobster with something like Fettuccine Alfredo?

[MrEdd]

Pinchy would have wanted it this way.

Had this incredible Lobster Chowder in Boston, near Harvard Square called something like Lobster Haddie.

Don’t know the name of the restaurant but this might be close to the recipe...

I LOVE lobster. Sadly, don’t get to enjoy it very often.

Rock Lobster

First I lobster, then I flounder.....................

I’d love to eat lobster but the high price and trying to open one (unless you’re real used to it) is a bit of a turn off.

Made this recently. Very easy. Substitute lobster pieces for the shrimp?

Shrimp Mushroom Fettucine Alfredo
Makes 4-6 Entrée servings

Ingredients:
* 1 pound shrimp (I used a pound of fully cooked, shelled, deveined frozen shrimp from grocery – probably smaller is better, so they are dispersed more evenly in the sauce). Thaw if frozen, remove tails, reserve the liquid from the package.
* Approx 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 3-4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
* Approx ½ cup shredded mozzarella or other Italian cheese
* 1 pound fresh sliced mushrooms
* 1 jar, 16 ounces, creamy alfredo sauce (I used HyVee brand)
* Approx 2 tablespoons dried basil or parsley
* 8-16 ounce box fettucine, boil in separate pot for 9-10 minutes
Instructions, in a large, non-stick skillet at least 2” deep:
1) Sauté shrimp and garlic in about 1/3 of the butter or oil until lightly browned, remove from pan
2) Sauté mushrooms in same pan, until they are soft, brown, and cooked through, using additional butter or oil as needed
3) Start to boil the pasta 9-10 minutes
4) Add the shrimp back to the pan with the mushrooms, then pour in the alfredo sauce and reserved liquid from the shrimp, stir to combine, maintain at a low simmer
5) Add the basil or other herbs as desired
6) Before serving, stir in the mozzarella cheese
7) Serve over cooked linguine or other pasta
To extend the sauce for more servings, you might add a can of cream of mushroom soup, thinned with a little milk.

Thanks for the recipe. Was it good?

I have this succulent Australian shrimp that tastes just like lobster after they are lightly sauteed. I’d probably use the pre-made Fettuccine Alfredo from Trader Joe’s or Olive Garden down the street. I think the Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo is really good.

What better way to celebrate National Lobster Day (besides eating one or two), that watching the classic Julia Child "French Chef" episode on cooking and eating lobsters.

Have you ever tried Australian shrimp? I get mine frozen from Trader Joe’s - succulent and tastes a lot like lobster after lightly sauteing in butter and garlic. Yum.

It was very good. And fast/easy. I am sure some more ambitious cooks will scoff at using “jar sauce”.

I would say, yes, go for it with the Australian shrimp and jar sauce from whatever source. If you don’t like mushrooms, maybe substitute some broccoli florets or asparagus spears cut into 1” sections.

One of the guys at work got a very large fish tank from a garage sale really cheap. He was asking us what kinds of fish he should put in it.
I suggested he get lobsters and grow them in the tank.
We live in Colorado.

Julia’s a trip. See that 20 pounder on the table? The Behemoth!

[Jim W N]

Sounds good. Thanks.

I have always loved lobster and one day the waitress laid a plate in front of me - suddenly, it occurred to me how this bottom-feeder looked so much like an insect! Since that day, I only order lobster 'tails'... (Caveat emptor! /ˌkævɛɑːt ˈɛmptɔːr/)

Having lived within 100 miles of the Gulf of Maine for my entire life I've never developed even the slightest interest in seafood...particularly lobster.

Give me a nice piece of sirloin...medium rare...baked potato with butter,asparagus with butter and a nice piece of apple pie and I'm.....
