Indo Chinese Chilli Lobster

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Indo Chinese

Ingredients

  • 2 Lobster tails
  • 1 medium red onion; diced
  • 1 green bell pepper/capsicum; diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 inch ginger; julienned
  • 1 large red chilli; sliced less heat variety
  • 1-2 tbsp chilli sauce depending on heat preferences
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • Salt; to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves; for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the lobster tails in salted boiling water till the shell turns bright red and the meat has just cooked. (Approximate timings would be 8-10 minutes for tails weighing 300gms)
  • Once cooked, cut lengthwise through the shell on the thinner side to pull out the meat in whole. Cut the meat into large cubes and keep aside.
  • In a large pan, heat the butter and oil.
  • Add the ginger, onions, bell peppers and chilli; sauté on high for a minute.
  • Next add the soy sauce, chilli sauce and chilli powder.
  • Mix well and add the lobster pieces.
  • Season with salt if necessary and mix well to combine. Saute on high for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve warm

Notes

Lobster meat turns rubbery if overcooked so make sure you taste in between and adjust cooking time accordingly.
