Preparation and Cooking

  • Cook the lobster tails using your preferred method—boiling or grilling—until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Chop the cooked lobster into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, around 1 minute.
  • Add the lobster pieces to the skillet and warm them through for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing lobster on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
  • For an extra kick, drizzle with hot sauce before serving.

Notes

Store unused lobster taco ingredients in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. While cooked lobster can technically be frozen, it’s best enjoyed fresh.
