Cooked lobster is mixed with lime juice, herbs, onion, capers, and mayonnaise into a luscious spread for crackers. Shrimp, crab, or crawfish may be substituted for the lobster.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups roughly chopped cooked lobster meat
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, basil, or cilantro (fresh coriander)
- 1 Tablespoon finely minced onion
- 1 Tablespoon capers
- Mayonnaise as needed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:
Mix lobster, lemon or lime juice, herbs, onions, and capers together in a bowl. Add enough mayonnaise to bind. Season with salt and pepper, bearing in mind that capers are salty.
