Ingredients
- 2 lobster tail about 1.5 pounds before cooking or 1 1/2 cups chopped meat
- 1/2 lb dry pasta shells
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice plus extra lemon wedges for serving
- 1 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning feel free to add more to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup celery minced
- 1/2 cup onion red, minced
- 2 Tbsp chive chopped, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- To cook the lobster tails, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the tails and set a timer to 10 minutes (do not wait for the water to return to a boil before setting your timer.) After ten minutes the lobster tails should be curled, and a bright red. Note: the internal temperature should read 140F. Remove them and let cool.
- When the tails have cooled a bit, snip the shells open along the under side with kitchen shears. Pull apart the shells and remove the meat. Give the meat a rough chop. Make sure to remove any bits of stray shell from the meat.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of salted water just until al dente. (This can be done ahead of time if you like.) While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the mayo, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Adjust to taste, and keep chilled in the fridge.
- Drain the pasta, and toss with 1-2 Tbsp of the dressing while still warm. Allow to fully cool in the fridge before assembling the rest of the salad.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the pasta, lobster meat, celery, onion, and the rest of the dressing. Chill in the fridge for up to a couple of hours before serving.
- Serve chilled with lemon wedges and a sprinkling of fresh chopped chives.
- Lobster pasta salad is perishable, so plan to eat within a couple of days.
