Ingredients
Instructions
For the lobster:
- Step 1
Add water to a pan with a steamer basket over high heat. Once boiling, season water with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
- Step 2
Place steamer basket into the pan and place 3-ounce lobster tails into the basket. Cover with a lid and set a timer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 1 more minute, or until lobster reaches an internal temperature of about 140 degrees F.
- Step 3
Remove shells and cut lobster into 1-inch pieces. Add to a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
For the slaw:
- Step 4
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, red bell pepper, cilantro and green onion.
- Step 5
In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, lime juice, salt and pepper. Whisk together until smooth. Pour dressing over the slaw and toss to coat.
For the crema:
- Step 6
Whisk together sour cream, taco spice seasoning, lime juice and jalapeño brine (if using) until smooth.
To assemble tacos:
- Step 7
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet and fold in half to help them hold their shape.
- Step 8
Add tortillas to a serving platter and stuff with a generous scoop of slaw. Top with butter-soaked lobster and a drizzle of crema.
- Step 9
Garnish with additional toppings, including sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, sliced onions and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
