Serves 1
Your can either cook your own lobster if you are brave enough or have your seafood purveyor steam it for you.
3/4 cup cooked lobster meat, cut into large dice
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmans' Light)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine shallot, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Whisk mayonnaise, tarragon, and black pepper to taste into the shallot mixture. Add lobster meat and celery and toss gently to coat.
Serve on a bed of lettuce with fresh avocado and tomato or, you can also put this on a fresh bun to make a tasty lobster roll.
