Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Lemon Zester
  • Lemon Juicer
  • Cutting Board, etc

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs of Luxurious Costco Frozen Cooked Lobster Claws a bounty of oceanic delights waiting to be savored
  • 16 oz 2 cups of Velvety Mayonnaise, crafted from the finest organic ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning a Chesapeake Bay-inspired blend of aromatic spices
  • 1 Lemon a sun-kissed citrus orb for its zest and juice, awakening the palate
  • Salt an exquisite pinch to enhance the oceanic flavors, to be sprinkled like stardust
  • Black Pepper a dash of freshly ground peppercorns, adding a bold and zesty kick
  • Butter used as needed and adjusted to taste

Instructions

Thaw Lobster Claws:

  • If the Costco Frozen Cooked Lobster Claws are frozen, follow the package instructions to thaw them properly. Ensure they are fully thawed before proceeding.

Prepare the Lobster Meat:

  • Carefully remove the lobster meat from the claws, ensuring there are no shell fragments. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.

Zest and Juice the Lemon:

  • Zest the lemon to extract its flavorful outer peel. Cut the lemon in half and juice it to get fresh lemon juice. Set aside the zest and juice.

Create the Lobster Salad Base:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, velvety mayonnaise, Old Bay Seasoning, and the zest of the lemon. Mix the ingredients thoroughly to create a cohesive lobster salad base.

Season with Salt and Pepper:

  • Add a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper to the lobster salad. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Remember, the Old Bay Seasoning already contains some salt, so be mindful.

Adjust Consistency with Butter (Optional):

  • If desired, add butter to the lobster salad to enhance richness and flavor. Adjust the amount according to your taste. This step is optional and can be skipped for a lighter version.

Incorporate Lemon Juice:

  • Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the lobster salad. The lemon juice adds a bright and citrusy element to balance the richness of the mayonnaise.

Mix Thoroughly:

  • Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors. Taste the lobster salad and make any additional seasoning adjustments if needed.

Chill Before Serving:

  • For the best flavor, refrigerate the lobster salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also ensures a refreshing and chilled serving.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Once chilled, serve the Costco Lobster Claws Salad on a bed of crisp greens, in a buttered roll, or however you prefer. Garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.

Savor the Oceanic Delight:

  • Delight in the luxurious flavors of the Costco Lobster Claws Salad. Whether enjoyed as a salad, sandwich filling, or on its own, this dish is a celebration of oceanic indulgence.
