I need some fun ideas for about 12oz of cooked lobster tail. They are part of the Thankgiving “left overs”:D. ---

Lobster imperial. Make crab imperial, then stuff it in the lobster tail. Lobster Mac and cheese. Lobster omelette. Corn and lobster chowder. ---

Lobster Bisque. Done right, it’s heavenly. [This](http://allrecipes.com/recipe/perfect-lobster-bisque/) is pretty much the recipe I use. However, I dump the mushrooms, puree the other vegetables and sub sherry for the white wine. Proportions are pretty accurate though ---

Lobster Mac and Cheese is a great one. Use gruyere. Lobster pie. Lobster, potatoes, and cream in a shell. Omit potatoes if desired. Lobster rolls. Lobster ravioli Lobster Bisque Lobster Enchildas, Tacos, etc. Potted lobster. Preserve the cooked lobster in butter. Lobster Sauce (just kidding, no lobster in that). ---

How about a sea food dip. I had a nice one yesterday that had mayo, various spices, lemon juice, some tiny pieces of stuff like celery, bellpepper and onion. And enough horseradish to give it a kick. Now, in this case the seafood was lowly “crabease” aka fake crab for poor people. Maybe you could upscale something like that with lobster instead? ---

You can make “Lobster Disparaissent” with butter in a bout 3 min. 😃 ---

Decadent lobster fettucini alfredo: [http://www.bayleys.com/recipes/print/11920301.php](http://www.bayleys.com/recipes/print/11920301.php) My husband made this for me on our wedding anniversary along with Manhattan claim chowder, fresh corn on the cob, grilled skirt steak, home made fries, and cherries with a chocolate fondue. We were in Cape Cod so lobsters were everywhere and comparatively cheap. ---

I would second both the lobster ravioli and the bisque. Lobster bisque is outstanding. A local restaurant makes ravioli with a sweet creamed corn filling, and adds chunks of lobster with a light creamy sauce. It’s freakin’ ambrosia. ---

Lobster Newburg (I don’t have a recipe at hand, have made it many times, though) - a cream sauce thickened with egg yolk, a touch of cayenne, and a dash of sherry (essential) - serve over toast or even rice. Stouffers used to sell a little box for about $5, a nice little treat, but they don’t make it any more. ☹ ---

Personally I’d go for a simple lobster salad. Light dress some greens with oil, vinegar, sat & pepper. Place on a plate. Mix the lobster with just a little _bit_ of good mayo or remoulade & diced celery and onion. Put a nice scoop of the lobster in the middle of the greens. Open a decent Riesling and enjoy. ---

Eating it isn’t an option? I guess you could blend it for use as spackle. ---
