Grilled Lobster with Creamy Chili Vinaigrette

At Geronimo, located on eclectic Canyon Road in Santa Fe, this is served with a mixed green salad and roasted corn on the cob. The idea here is to dip the lobster meat into the spicy vinaigrette.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce*
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
9 ounces angel hair pasta
2 10- to 12-ounce lobster tails (thawed if frozen), split lengthwise in half
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix first 8 ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    Step 2

    Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Rinse under cold water to cool. Drain. (Can be made 2 hours ahead.) Set aside.

    Step 3

    Prepare barbecue (medium-low heat) or preheat broiler. Brush lobster tails with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Place lobster tails, meat side down, on grill. Grill 3 minutes. Turn over; grill until meat is opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate. Tent with foil.

    Step 4

    Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add pasta, chives and parsley; toss until heated through. Place pasta on plates. Top with lobster. Garnish with lemon. Serve with vinaigrette.
