Caribbean Rock Lobster with Zucchini Noodles

Heyooo to all the Lobster Lovers out there! I got somethin for ya ;) 

A friend of mine recently speared some Caribbean Rock Lobsters on a night dive and I jumped at the opportunity to take em off his hands! I have never actually cooked whole lobster before so this was an adventure. I didn't have to cook them live thankfully, but I heard the lobster 'crying' noise as the air escaped their shells. Creepy. Nonetheless, I set out to make a delicious lobster meal. I cooked about 8, between 1/4lb- 3/4lb each. Although you don't get a ton of meat out of these guys, the meat that you do get is super sweet & flavorful. 

Poor little guys with their puncture wounds...but look at that COLOR! Woot! 

MEATYYY

My Mom got involved and made a quick tomato sauce with a bit of white wine, about 5 tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil and S&P. 

Ok, so now for the fun part. Have you guys heard of a vegetable spiralizer? My mom introduced me to it a while ago and it has become my fun friend for the past year, especially recently. We spiralized 1 large zucchini to make zucchini noodles to sub for pasta. 

Pick one of these bad boys up on Amazon for like $30. {image via http://bit.ly/1nDDuH6}

Lightly saute with garlic, coconut oil and S&P and you're good to go. Make sure not to overcook them as they'll get too soft.

          
I can't tell you how good this was. No words. So you'll just have to try it yourself. Of course you can get some good ol pasta and cheese into the mix and no one can be mad at that. 

I'll have some more, please.
