Lobster BLT Salad

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

This easy recipe for lobster BLT salad takes your favorite sandwich, adds seafood and turns it into a salad! And with just one lobster tail for two people it won’t break the bank.

If I ever had to make the choice between lobster and bacon (please no!) I’m honestly not sure what I would do.

Happily this will probably never happen, and even more happily, this recipe takes those two magical ingredients and puts them together in a mash-up of lobster salad and everyone’s favorite bacon sandwich!

Here’s how you make Lobster BLT Salad!

It starts, as so many delectable things do in my world, with bacon.  Chop it up, cook it up in a skillet, scoop it out but save those magical bacon drippings, because first you are going to cook the lobster in them.

I use one lobster tail for this recipe, and I cut it into pretty uniform bite-sized pieces.  And cooking the lobster in the bacon drippings…oh my goodness.

Once the lobster is done, scoop it out and now dump some fresh bread crumbs into the skillet (you can make fresh bread crumbs in a snap by whirling a piece of bread in your food processor).  Stir the crumbs in the drippings until they are golden.  Scoop ’em out.

Now mix up some mayonnaise with a little Old Bay seasoning (this is a lovely seafood spice mixture that you can find in your spice aisle of the supermarket), and then toss the cooked lobster in it.  Add in some chopped lettuce, some sweet cherry tomatoes and that cooked bacon and chop again.

Now divide this heavenly mixture among two plates and scatter those toasty breadcrumbs on top.

Yep.  That’s what I’m talking about.  Summer at the seashore on a plate.

Happy sigh!

Description

This easy recipe for lobster BLT salad takes your favorite sandwich, adds seafood and turns it into a salad! And with just one lobster tail for two people it won’t break the bank.


Ingredients

  • 1 raw lobster tail, cut into chunks
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Put bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium high heat until done to your liking.  Scoop it out and drain on paper towels, leaving drippings in skillet.
  2. Add lobster meat to the skillet and cook it in the bacon drippings until it is done, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the chunks.  Scoop out and set aside.
  3. Add bread crumbs to the skillet, still over medium high heat, and stir until golden and crispy.  Scoop out and set aside.
  4. Mix the mayo and the Old Bay seasoning together in a large bowl.  Add the lobster and toss until coated. Add the lettuce, tomatoes and cooked bacon and toss again.
  5. Divide among two plates, sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and serve!

Notes

  • Lobster is of course spendy, so you can always substitute 1/2 pound of shrimp if you like! (But you are TOTALLY worth the lobster!)

      I hope you love it as much as we do Martha – we love it just as much with shrimp as we do with lobster. :) Happy weekend!
