Have a few lobsters to cook that a friend caught this past weekend? Any good recipes?

Caught? Where do you live? Maine or Caribbean?

Take the meat(after boiling them long enough to insure a peaceful departure)), mix with some veggies(grape tomato, mushroom, red onion, geen onion, bell pepper all sauteed), and season, wrap in phyllo dough, then bake. Top it with a lemon/butter/white wine sauce.

ETA: The legs of spiny lobsters are edible, but a pain in the butt to get the meat from.

Get Emeril's Stuffed Lobster recipe from the Food Network site and use that. I enhance it with La style seasoning(it's written for Fall River Mass. palates), and I like to add some extra seafood///crab, sauteed shrimp(rough chopped). Your guests will eat the shells to get the last bite. Easy recipe to make ahead and bake to serve once your guests arrive.

Don't ruin this. Steam and serve with drawn butter. Keep it simple my man.

Caribbean lobsters a different beast. Cut in half lenghtwise and grill. Serve with a simple acidic sauce - a salsa, or pesto type creation will do trick. Baste on grill with lots of butter.

This is a recipe from the friggin Caribbbean for spiny lobster.

Thanks for all the feedback.

If you split, then take note to take out the tomalley(the stuff in the head), if doing the splitting by hand wear thick rubber gloves while doing it, the spines will pierce your hand and it hurts and will give you some nasty stuff. If they are still alive enjoy the scream.
