Submitted by: Chef Robb Schoonmaker, Artzy-Partzy Catering, Kennebunk, Maine, 2002

INGREDIENTS:

(6 servings, prepare in 7 mins.)

2 cups flour
6 eggs
1/3 cup spinach, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 1/2 pounds Maine lobster tails & claws
2 sticks butter
2 lemons, sliced for juicing
2 heads green leaf lettuce, shredded
6 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS:

Take 3 shallow dishes and prepare the following:

1st dish - flour

2nd dish - eggs, spinach, garlic, shallots - mix well

3rd dish - Parmesan cheese

Dredge each Maine lobster tail in dish 1, then dish 2, then dish 3 being careful to coat maine lobster tail completely. 

For each tail, saute 2 tablespoons of butter in frying pan over medium heat.  Once butter foams, add coated tail.  Turn on all sides to be sure to cook batter.  Squeeze lemon slice over Maine lobster tail to sizzle.  Remove to cooling rack. 

Save out six Maine lobster tails for garnishing individual plates.  Slice the remaining tails into 1 inch pieces.  Lightly season the lettuce with Balsamic vinegar and gently toss Maine lobster into the dressed lettuce.  Place on six chilled salad plates.  Garnish the center with lemon slices and a small cluster of red seedless grapes.  Place one Maine lobster tail on top of each dish.  Garnish with Maine lobster shells retained after cooking.
