WOW, when lobster is in season, this is a must try (but not for the Chef who is upset by cooking live seafood) Budget meal, this isn't, but elegant and delish for that special someone... Pop a good champagne, serve with a baby spinach salad with poppy sead dressing and a good rustic bread. From Al Forno restaurant in Providence, RI Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes |
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic |
1 cup loosely packed chopped italian parsley, washed and dried |
4 (1 1/2 lb) hard-shell live lobsters |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until very hot.
2. Add red pepper flakes, garlic and parsley. The mixture should begin to sizzle immediately.
3. Stir until parsley darkens and the garlic is golden.
4. Turn the heat down slightly and add the lobsters, cover and cook over medium-high heat for 12-14 minutes until the lobsters are cooked.
5. Serve immediately with the juices on the side for dipping.
6. Add a little more olive oil to each serving if desired.
