Notes
To cook the lobster meat, place 4 to 6 fresh or thawed lobster tails in a shallow pan. Add enough water just to cover the bottom. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 3 to5 minutes or until the shells are bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove the tails from the pan and let cool before removing the meat from the shell.
When cooking the lobster from scratch, be careful not to overcook the lobster as it’ll taste rubbery and unpleasant.
To warm the tortillas, place the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet, heating both sides for a could of seconds.
If you have a mandolin, you can use that to slice your cabbage thinly easily. Use a slicing guard to protect your fingers.
The lime adds a brightness and freshness to the lobster, do not swap for bottled lime juice as some bottled lime juices have a slightly bitter taste.
