Lemon & Tartare Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Grilling Lobster Tail

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Split the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Frying Whole Snapper

    Clean and prepare the snapper. Heat oil in a deep pan. Dredge the snapper in flour, then fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Grilling Shrimp

    Skewer the shrimp and brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Frying Calamari

    Mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dredge calamari in the mixture and fry in hot oil for about 2-3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Preparing House Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Preparing Lemon & Tartare Sauce

    Serve grilled lemon wedges alongside tartare sauce for dipping.
