LOBSTER AND AVOCADO SALAD
This recipe, from Craig Claiborne with Pierre Franey, brings together two scrumptious delights, the lobster and the avocado. The creaminess of the avocado complements the sweetness of the lobster. The combination is perfect for a light summer supper or lunch. It's great for a special occasion, but can also be a treat just for you.

Steps:
- Bring enough water to the boil to cover the lobsters when added. Add the lobsters and salt and cover. When the water returns to the boil, let the lobsters simmer 12 minutes. Let stand five to 10 minutes and drain the lobsters well.
- Meanwhile, cut away and discard the core of the lettuce. Cut the leaves lengthwise into quarters. Cut the leaves crosswise into very fine shreds. There should be about six to seven cups.
- Remove the meat from the lobster shells. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. There should be about four cups.
- Put the lettuce in a salad bowl. Arrange the lobster pieces on top and add the green onions or scallions. Toss lightly.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Discard the pits. Peel the halves. Cut each half lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
- Arrange the avocado slices neatly over the salad. Sprinkle with the basil.
- To make the salad dressing, put the mustard, vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the egg. Blend the oils. Start beating with a wire whisk while gradually adding the oil.
- Serve the salad and salad dressing separately if desired. Or toss the salad with the dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal grill for direct grilling.
- Split each lobster tail down the underside with a heavy knife, taking care not to cut through the back shell, so that they are still in one piece that you can open like a book. Brush the lobster meat with some of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the lobsters cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and heated through, about 4 minutes. Flip and heat briefly, another 30 seconds or so. Remove from the shell, being careful to leave the meat from each half in one piece.
- Spread some of the Charred Corn and Avocado Salsa on the bottom of the hamburger buns. Top with 2 pieces lobster, some sliced red onions and a squeeze of lime juice. Spread extra mayo on the top bun, if desired, top the sandwiches and serve.
- Serves: 6
- Preheat the grill to medium direct heat.
- Pull the outer husks down the corn to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold the husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with the salt for 1 hour.
- Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess water. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill until the kernels are tender, 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove the kernels from the ears.
- Put the corn kernels, creme fraiche, cilantro, avocados, lime juice, chiles, onions and hot sauce in a medium bowl and toss gently, breaking up the avocado a bit. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place smoke chips in 8 x 6-inch foil packet with open top. Set atop coals 5 minutes before grilling lobsters. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Working in batches, drop lobsters headfirst into water. Cover; boil 2 minutes. Transfer lobsters to work surface. Immediately split in half lengthwise, using heavy large knife. Crack claws.
- Arrange lobsters, cut side up, on grill. Cover; grill 6 minutes. Turn lobsters over and grill until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove lobster meat from shells. Cool. Cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to large bowl.
- Whisk oil and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover lobster and dressing separately; chill. Rewhisk dressing before continuing.)
- Add avocados, tomatoes and papaya to lobster in bowl. Pour 1/2 cup dressing over; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss greens in another large bowl with enough remaining dressing to coat.

LOBSTER, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil for 7 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain the lobsters and let them cool completely. When the lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the tail (and from the claws if using Maine lobsters), keeping the meat intact. Discard the tomalley, any roe, and shells. Chill the lobster, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
- Chop the lobster into bite-size pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, scallions, and lime juice; set the dressing aside.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from each grapefruit. Working over a small bowl, cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments, letting the juice and segments fall into the bowl. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the segments to a large bowl. Add the lobster, avocados, mango, and mesclun greens.
- Whisk the reserved grapefruit juice into the scallion dressing, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently toss the salad with dressing to coat. Serve.
