Fine Lobster
One of the many affiliates I have on my website is FineLobster.com. They offer many types of lobster, including my favorite - Maine Lobster - at very affordable prices. This month they have shared several lobster recipes with their publishers and I, in turn, would like to share them with you.
Fine Lobster Recipes
Baked Stuffed Lobster TailsIngredients
4 8-ounce lobster tails
6 tbs unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup fresh tarragon leaves, loosely packed
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1 large shallot, minced
3 tbs pine nuts, toasted
3 qts water
3 tbs salt
1 onion, cut into eighths
1 bay leaf
2 large potatoes, halved, crosswise
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Instructions
Blend together the butter, tarragon, lemon juice, bread crumbs, shallots and pine nuts in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pot, combine the water, salt, onion and bay leaf. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5 minutes. Cut a crosswise slit at each end of the underside of each lobster tail. Cut 2 lengthwise slits down the underside from one crosswise slit to the other to remove only a rectangular piece of the undersection of each lobster tail. Spread 1/4 of the stuffing down the tail. Arrange the lobsters in a baking dish and use the potato wedges, one up against each side of the tail, to keep the tail from rolling over. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until stuffing is crisp and browned. Discard the potatoes and serve immediately. Serves 4
Spicy Lobster Rice
Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame oil
½ cup bamboo shoots
½ cup cooked Lobster meat, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon red curry paste
1 cup cooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon fresh finely chopped
cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon sesame seed
Lime wedges
Preparation Instructions
In a sauté pan over medium heat, slick the pan with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add in the bamboo shoots and lobster meat and sauté for 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a small cup combine the curry paste and 1 tablespoon of water. Add this to the lobster mixture and toss until it is well combined. Reduce the heat to low and add in the rice, coconut milk, and cilantro and toss one last time until everything is well mixed.
Transfer the rice to two clean plates and sprinkle it with sesame seeds and serve it with line wedges.

The Eclectic Mall
After working my entire adult life in an office environment, most recently at Blue Cross as an operations analyst, I found myself unable to work outside the home. Since I am not the type of person to sit in front of the TV all day, I decided to find something that I could do from home, not only to keep my sanity but to bring in a little extra money. I tried, unsuccessfully, to find a work from home "job" and found they are pretty much non-existant. I also tried a couple of different businesses, but seemed to spend more money than I was making. Not wanting to give up, I decided to try affiliate marketing. I searched on line and was amazed at all the different companies that offer affiliate memberships.
This site will always be "a work in progress" but is now ready to launch. As the days and weeks go on, I will be adding more stores and finding more deals for everyone.
I named it The Eclectic Mall because here you will find some of this and some of that.
Another reason for starting this business is my desire to contribute to two very important causes in my life, Alzheimer's Research and the ASPCA. In 1995 I lost my mother, at the very young age of 63, to Alzheimer's. I would like to do my part, no matter how small, to help find a cure for this devistating disease. Also, I have always been an animal lover and would like to be able to help abused and abandoned animals across the country. 5% of all my commissions from all but pet sites will be donated to Alzheimer's Research. 5% of all my commissions from all the pet sites on The Eclectic Mall will be donated to the ASPCA.
I would like to invite you to http://www.the-eclectic-mall.webnode.com, visit the different stores and check out the specials advertised on the home page, sign my guestbook and please, leave feedback under the "feedback" tab on the right side of the home page.
