$2.99 Lobster Tails make great Lobster Tacos

OK - Another smoking hot deal about to expire this coming Tuesday May 26, 2009 at Albertsons. They have 3oz (approx) Lobster Tails for $2.99 (regular $9.99) I first purchased these about a week ago. I bought two of them. I found some Emeril's Lemon, Rosemary & Gaaahlic marinade in the clearance section for $1.

I cracked open the lobster by cutting straight down the tail from top to bottom and opened it up so my marinade could get in and stick to the lobster meat. I put into a zippered bag and set in the fridge.

The next day I fired up the grille nice and hot and cooked the lobster about 5 minutes each side. While the lobster was cooking I shredded some red cabbage, diced some red/white onions and made some baja sauce (see recipe and end) and sliced up some lime. I also got out the Wholly Guacamole (used a $1/1 coupon on the single pack when it was on sale at Sprouts Farmers Market for $1.99) from the fridge along with two flour tortillas.

While the tortillas were on the griddle heating up, I took the lobster meat out of its shell licking my fingers the whole time. That Emeril's Marinade is darn good stuff. Mmmmmmm. I plated the tortillas and spread a layer of Guacamole down the center. I then stacked the lobster on the guacamole. Sprinkled some of the onions and a heaping tablespoon of baja sauce.

Next I heaved a whole hand full of the shredded cabbage and squeezed my lime over it all. When I was done I yelled out BAMMMMM! thinking I was cooking on the food network or something. I quickly sat down and shoveled the Lobster Tacos into my awaiting mouth. It was Delicious.

Baja Sauce: mix 1/2 cup Yogurt with 1/2 cup Mayo and then add a heaping tablespoon of home made salsa and stir (don't have home made salse try pace or your favorite bottled salsa).

Enjoy,
