Lobster Tacos
These lobster tacos are seasoned with a homemade spice blend and served with warm tortillas filled with chunks of tender, juicy lobster meat, mango, pineapples, and cilantro. A squeeze of fresh lime juice provides the perfect finishing touch to this mouthwatering dish.
Ingredients
- 16-20 oz raw lobster meat I used 8 oz lobster claw meat + 2, 5-6 oz lobster tails
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional for spicy
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- tortillas I used corn tortillas.
Instructions
- Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, optional cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the spices over the lobster. Ensure the lobster is fully coated, but don't over-season it. The amount of taco seasoning you use will vary based on the size and thickness of the lobster meat you are using. (This is why I recommend combining the spices first and then use your judgment of how much you will need for your lobster.)
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with olive oil. Add the lobster and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until cooked through and opaque.
- Serve the lobster meat on tortillas with optional toppings.
