Method

Preparing the Lobster Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Remove the meat from the lobster tails and cut them into large chunks. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the lobster chunks in the mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Lobster

    Thread the lobster chunks onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece.

  4. 4

    Fry the Skewers

    Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and fry the lobster skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

    Prepare the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the tortilla chips, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle lime juice over the salad and add salt to taste. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

Preparing the Smoked Tomato-Chipotle Vinaigrette
