Sounds good, I need it a different
Pasta/seafood recipe , one that didn't
Require Mayo. Not to mention the fact That I've been craving lobster.
Sounds delicious - I think keeping it simple is definitely the best way when you're using great fresh seafood like this.
That looks so yummy. I think it is a very good idea to restrict the fishing of lobsters like that. We have restrictions of the size that can be fished and it is very expensive here so is not often on the menu.
Wow!!! that sounds delish 😉
It is, Sandra. Try it. I also loved that it's not a heavy dish, because I don't like eating heavy when it's hot.
