Lobster Ceviche

Lobster ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that's perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It's made with cooked lobster meat, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. The lime juice "cooks" the lobster meat, giving it a slightly firm texture. The cilantro and red onion add freshness and brightness, while the jalapeño pepper adds a bit of heat. This dish is best served chilled, and it can be made ahead of time.

Ceviche is a South American dish that is typically made with raw fish or seafood that is marinated in lime juice and other citrus juices. The acid in the lime juice "cooks" the seafood, giving it a firm texture. Ceviche is often served with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and other vegetables. Lobster ceviche is a variation on this classic dish that uses cooked lobster meat instead of raw fish or seafood. This makes it a great option for people who are not comfortable eating raw seafood. Lobster ceviche is also a great way to use up leftover lobster meat.
