INGREDIENTS:
2 each 1½ lb.
Maine lobsters
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ each lime, juice only
1 loaf French bread
2 tablespoons olive oil (as needed)
½ cup Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Boil Maine Lobsters for 5 minutes. The Maine Lobsters should not be completely cooked. Allow to cool. Remove meat from tails and claws. Cut meat into small bite size pieces. Place Maine Lobster meat in a non-metallic bowl and toss with olive oil and red pepper flakes. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for one hour. Coat a non-stick frying pan with vegetable spray. Heat pan on medium high until it begins to smoke. Add Maine Lobster and saute until the meat is golden brown. The red peppers will cause a small of amount of smoke while cooking. This will add to the flavor. Add the lime juice right before removing from pan.
Slice bread into eight 1/2 slices. Brush both sides with olive oil. Place on baking sheet. Put in oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, check frequently. When bread is light golden brown remove from oven. Turn each piece over since they will be slightly more toasted on the bottom. Place prepared Maine Lobster meat on top of toast and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place back in oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly brown. Serve immediately.
