So, its Lobster Season here in Florida, my favorite season of the year.  Florida Spiny Lobster is very tasty and fun to catch.  There are a million easy ways to cook up these tasty bugs, my favorite is the Florida Lobster Roll.  Traditionally these are made with Maine Lobster, here is our take Florida style.

Ingredients:

• Florida Spiny Lobster – I used 4 smaller tails (cook to your liking – steamed, baked or grilled) I steamed with Old Bay and salt.
• Mayonaise
• Key Limes
• Avocado
• Scallions or Chives
• Cilantro
• Old Bay & Salt to taste
• Sub rolls – I prefer soft style more like a big hot dog bun

Key Lime Avocado Aioli

Mix this up first.  I used my food processor to thoroughly blend – but a fork does the job too.  Mix together 1/4 cup of mayo, 1 avocado, 4 limes juiced, finely chopped cilantro and salt to taste. Super easy and a great light taste that compliments the lobster very nicely.  This is used as a spread on the bread. So keep it separate.

Florida Lobster Roll 

Roughly chop up the cooked Florida Spiny Lobster and a second avocado.  I like bigger chunks – chop it to your liking.  Then take 2-3 tablespoons of mayo, more finely chopped cilantro, scallions and a couple of key limes juiced and mix it up thoroughly.  Then gentle toss the lobster and avocado chunks into mix.  I keep the mayo to a minimum, just enough to keep it mixed together.   Take the sub rolls and cut them in half.  Spread butter and like a little garlic salt to enhance it and toast it under the broiler.  Take the toasted roll, spread the Key Lime Avocado Aioli on each side, I added lettuce first then generous amounts of the lobster mix and done.  YUMMY!
