Ingredients

  1. 6 whole lobster tails (about 300–400g each)
  2. 2 large bunches of fresh watercress, washed and trimmed
  3. 3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  4. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  5. 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  6. 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
  7. 1 large cucumber
  8. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  9. Zest and juice of 3 limes
  10. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  11. 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Method

  1. Start by cooking the lobster tails. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the shells turn red and the lobster meat is opaque. Remove the lobster tails from the water and let them cool.
  2. Use sharp kitchen scissors to cut down the middle of the underside of each lobster tail. Gently peel back the shell and break it away. Carefully remove the lobster meat in one piece and cut crossways into 4 medallions. Repeat with the remaining lobster tails.
  3. Place lime juice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and bring just to a boil. Use a wire balloon whisk to gradually whisk in the butter, 1 cube at a time, until the butter melts and is well combined. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and lime zest, then add the chives and whisk until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Use a vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber lengthways into thin strips. Divide the cucumber, watercress, red onion, capers, coriander and avocado among serving plates. Top with the lobster medallions and drizzle with lime butter. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip

Great Lobster with Lime Butter and Watercress is all about brightness — sweet, tender lobster lifted by zesty citrus and rich, silky butter against the peppery freshness of greens. Keep the butter emulsified and lightly tangy rather than heavy, and serve immediately so the warm lobster contrasts beautifully with the crisp salad, creating a refined, restaurant-quality balance of flavour and texture.
