Ingredients

For the slaw

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage white, red or a mix
  • ¼ cup cilantro coriander, roughly chopped volume
  • 1 lime

For mango crema

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • cup mango in chunks

For rest of tacos

  • 1 tablespoon butter approx
  • ½ lb cooked lobster meat
  • 6 small-sized tortillas (taco-size, I generally use corn but wheat or a blend also works)
  • 6 tablespoon guacamole optional, approx

Instructions

To make the slaw

  • Combine the cabbage, chopped cilantro/coriander and squeeze over plenty of lime (save a little for the crema). If you like, add a drizzle of olive or vegetable oil as well and mix well. Set aside.

To make the mango crema

    To assemble tacos

    • Make the guacamole, if using and if making your own, before you warm the lobster. Gently warm the tortillas in a dry skillet/on a griddle or wrapped in paper in the microwave. They should only need a minute each side at most.
    • Warm the butter in a small skillet over a medium-low heat. Add the lobster and stir gently. Leave a few seconds then turn the pieces so they warm through. Don't leave it on the heat any more than about a minute.
    • Make up the tacos with some guacamole in the bottom of each tortilla, if using guacamole, a good scoop of the slaw, then the lobster and a drizzle of the mango crema on top.
