Ingredients
- 4 whole lobster tails
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 whole lime
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large avocado
- 2 medium roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lobster tails. Using kitchen scissors, cut the shells down the center to easily remove the meat. Pull out the lobster meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the lobster meat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, juice from half a lime, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the lobster pieces.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the lobster pieces and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the lobster is opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
While the lobster is cooking, prepare the toppings. Dice the avocado and tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and jalapeño. Combine in a mixing bowl and add the remaining lime juice, a pinch of salt, and some freshly chopped cilantro. Mix gently to create a vibrant salsa.
Step 5
Prepare the taco shells by washing and drying the lettuce leaves carefully. Arrange them on a large serving platter.
Step 6
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked lobster into each lettuce leaf. Top with the fresh avocado salsa.
Step 7
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy these refreshing Paleo Lobster Tacos as a healthier alternative to traditional tacos!
