Lobster Tostadas Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the Crabmeat
• Put the crabmeat in a bowl. Pick through it with your fingers to remove any cartilage.
• Combine the Ingredients
• Add the oil, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime zest and juice to the crabmeat. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold (or toss) all ingredients until well blended. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Assemble and Serve
• Top each tostada shell with a few slices of avocado, place a generous serving of the crabmeat mixture over it, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve each with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• First, make the salsa: In your food processor, place the jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro leaves; process to a fine mince.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes and pulse to a coarse chop.
• Transfer to a bowl, stir in the lime juice, and set aside.
• Put the tortillas in the oven, directly on the middle rack; bake for about 5 minutes or until toasted.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro leaves and the wine in a nonstick frying pan; cook for 1 minute over low heat, just until liquid begins to smoke.
• Stir in the lobster meat, cover, and cook for 3 minutes; remove from the heat.
• Put the toasted tortillas on individual serving plates, topped with a handful of lettuce.
• Divide the salsa and lobster meat among the 4 tostadas and spoon a little of the cilantro/wine mixture over each serving.

Steps:

• For the seafood: Place the octopus in a pressure cooker and cover with water by 4 inches. Add the salt, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 sprigs thyme and 1 clove garlic. Lock the lid according to the manufacturer's instructions and pressure cook for 40 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for releasing the pressure. Drain, let cool and slice 1-inch thick.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 3 cups extra-virgin olive oil in 8-quart saucepot with the lemon peels, remaining 3 sprigs thyme and 1 garlic clove. Heat to 190 degrees F. Poach the shrimp in the oil until cooked through, about 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Poach the calamari in the oil until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to another bowl and allow the shrimp and calamari to cool in the fridge.
• For the pickled chiles: Bring the vinegar to a boil in a saucepot with the peppercorns and bay leaf. Turn off the heat and let cool. Pour over the chiles in a bowl and allow to pickle for 20 minutes.
• For the tostadas: Clip a deep-frying thermometer to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Fry tostadas until golden, 1 to 2 minutes each. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to cool.
• For plating: Add all the chilled seafood, chiles, cucumber, radish, lime juice and chopped cilantro in a large bowl and mix together. Place a large scoop of seafood on a tostada, then garnish with cilantro leaves and drizzle with the oil. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 7 more tostadas.
