Lobster in Spicy Black Bean, Ginger & Garlic Sauce
One of my favorite meals to enjoy is Dim Sum. In years past I made regular treks up to Westminster with chefs and friends for Dim Sum at Seafood Paradise on Sunday morning. No sooner would we sit down, order some ice-cold Tsingtao beers when the carts would come rolling up the table…..immediate gratification! We would each create our own dipping sauces with chile paste, soy and hot mustard and dig. My favorite dim sum are the Shumai which are steamed dumplings made with a thin wrapper of some kind and filled with pork and shrimp…..great flavor and texture. In addition to the small dim sum items would order a large plate of style shrimp, lobster or crab prepared with ‘Salt & Pepper style or in a spicy black bean, ginger and garlic sauce. So I was at my local Gelson’s the other day and there’s a really nice lady who always works the seafood counter who saw me and said ‘’Today’s the last day of our Maine Lobster sale”! I know right away how I was going to prepare it.
