A tasty lobster ceviche with avocado, the recipe

Un gustoso ceviche di aragosta con avocado, la ricetta

A tasty lobster ceviche with avocado, the recipe.
Lobster ceviche with avocado is an exotic dish that combines the freshness of traditional ceviche with the rich flavor of avocado and the delicacy of lobster. Originating from the coasts of Latin America, ceviche is a celebration of the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. I tasted this dish that was prepared for a special occasion and I decided to write a recipe for it.

Ingredients

– Fresh lobster: The star of the dish, diced.
– Ripe avocado: Adds an irresistible creaminess.
– Cherry tomatoes: Cut in half or quarters, for a touch of sweetness.
– Lime juice: The essential component that “cooks” the lobster with its acidity.
– Red onion: Thinly sliced ​​for a touch of crunch.
– Fresh cilantro: For a fresh, herbaceous note.
– Fresh chili pepper: Adds a little spiciness, depending on taste.
– Salt and pepper: To enhance the flavors.

Preparation

Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the lobster cubes with the lime juice, red onion, and chili pepper. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, until the lobster is opaque and “cooked” by the lime.
Add avocado and cherry tomatoes: Dice the avocado and halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes, then add to the lobster mixture, stirring gently so as not to break up the ingredients.
Dressing: Add the chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Serve: The ceviche is best served immediately, with corn tortillas, or as a fancy appetizer.

Lobster Ceviche with Avocado and Cherry Tomatoes is a celebration of freshness and well-balanced flavors. The sweetness and delicacy of the lobster blends perfectly with the creaminess of the avocado, the freshness of the cherry tomatoes and the acidity of the lime, while the cilantro and chili pepper add depth and a light touch of spiciness.
This dish is ideal for a summer dinner or a special occasion, where the sophistication of the lobster meets the simplicity of fresh ingredients. A true culinary masterpiece that will delight your guests and add a touch of exoticism to your menu.

Spaghetti with lobster sauce, the recipe

Gli spaghetti al sugo di astice, la ricetta

Spaghetti with lobster sauce, the recipe.
Every now and then, on the ship, I am lucky enough to enjoy a plate of pasta seasoned with lobster sauce (or crawfish, depending on what's on the menu).
Making the sauce at home is not particularly difficult either, but as with everything, it also takes a little talent.
Here I propose a simple recipe that ChatGPT helped me write.

Ingredients:

– 400 g spaghetti;
– 1 whole lobster (or already cleaned and halved);
– a few fresh cherry tomatoes;
– 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped;
– Red chilli pepper (to taste, for a spicy touch);
– Fresh parsley, chopped;
– Extra virgin olive oil;
– Salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation:

Lobster preparation:
If you are using a whole lobster, cook it in a pot of boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes until it turns red. Drain the lobster and let it cool slightly. Then crack the shell and scoop out the meat. Cut the lobster meat into smaller pieces, leaving a few larger pieces for decoration at the end.
Sauce preparation:
In a large frying pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chili pepper (if desired) and fry until the garlic turns golden.
Add the halved fresh cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the previously prepared lobster meat and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little of the pasta cooking water to thin it out.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta al dente and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
Add the spaghetti to the lobster sauce in the pan, mix well and sauté for a minute, adding a little cooking water if necessary to combine everything.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and mix.

Serve the spaghetti with lobster sauce garnished with larger pieces of lobster and a drizzle of fresh olive oil.

Contrary to popular belief, the lobster and the crawfish are only loosely related, belonging to two distinct infraorders of the same suborder. By comparison, these two species are as closely related as humans are to tarsiers.

One of my favorite animals to photograph is definitely the lobster.
These were in a stall at a night market in Da Nang in Vietnam and the colors of this lobster really impressed me.

Don't they look wonderful to you?

Aragosta fritta thai

Aragosta fritta thai.
Normalmente a Phuket andiamo sempre a mangiare l’aragosta in un mercato (proprio di fronte allo stadio della thai boxe) coperto.
Una delle tante volte, per nostra disattenzione (o forse perche’ il venditore on ce l’ha chiesto) ce le hanno preparate, invece che grigliate, fritte.
A dire la verita’ non credevo mi sarebbe piaciuta cotta in questa maniera ma alla fine dai (a parte l’aglio abbondante) me la sono pappata ugualmente.
Forse, in questo modo, ci vuole un pochino piu’ tempo per finirla e non e’ una brtta cosa visto il prezzo, che per essere in Thailandia e’ abbastanza alto.

Fresh lobsters at the market in Thailand

Aragose fresche

Fresh lobsters at the market in Thailand.
In almost all Thai restaurants, lobsters and prawns are on display.
This, for example, was the market stall where we always go to eat lately when the ship is docked in Phuket.
Fresh lobsters (probably farmed) to be weighed and grilled or fried.
800/1000 baht per kilo, depending on how good you are at bargaining, about 30 euros.

Questa splendida aragosta l’ho fotografata in Thailandia a Phuket ed era veramente spettacolare. Variopinta e piena di aculei.
Immaginatevi di trovarvela di fronte mentre state facendo un bagnetto in una di quelle spiagge tropicali… Certo, dira’ qualcuno, lei si sara’ sicuramente spaventata di piu’ e sicuramente non sara’ contenta di come finira’ la sua esistenza.

Risotto con aragosta gustato in Grecia.
Ieri sono riuscito ad uscire a pranzo a Mykonos e mi sono gustato un buon risotto con sugo di aragosta.
Un po’ troppe verdurine per i miei gusti ma comunque molto buono.

A delicious plate of pasta with lobster

Pasta con aragosta

A delicious plate of pasta with lobster.
Pasta with lobster, let's say with lobster sauce, is one of my favorite fish dishes (even if it's not really fish).
This was made on board my last ship (while I'm at it I'll give my Costa Crociere a little advertising, which for a few years has offered, for a fee, various special dishes - all very good).
