marga, with shell brine with lots of salt for at least 1.5 hours in a cold fridge. If you are brining without shells (because of recipe) I would do it a little shorter at say 1 or less hours…

My husband always wants his lobster prepared with pasta. What I do is prepare some pasta and make italian spaghetti sauce (or sometimes when I’m too lazy to make it from scratch, I used Prego italian sauce whis is really really good), split the lobster tail in two, sprinkle it with same iodized salt, rub some butter on it, put it in a metal pan and throw it into the oven. When it’s cooked, put it on top of sauced pasta on a big plate, with few leaves of parsley as garnish. My husband always loved it.

I really enjoyed your lobster posts. I typically like lobsters in their simple steamed glory with lemon butter sauce. We rarely get to indulge, but after seeing your posts on lobster, I feel a little more encouraged to inudulge a little more often. The pasta version looks great. Your tip to Joey was very helpful. Thanks.

corrine, I actually don’t mind the inconsistent sizes, and since it’s hard enough to find pear tomatoes, I’ll take them in whatever sizes they come…but I know what you mean.

I am always on the look out for sandwich recipes for my kids. I shy away from ham, hot dogs and others that have sodium nitrite…carcinogenic! Anyway, I will try the shrimp sandwich. I am sure my kids will like it. Hope you come up with sandwich recipes that kids can bring to school.

The problem with cherry or grape tomatoes here is the size varies though they are in one container. There are tomatoes that are bigger than the others. Hope Freshfield has uniform size.
