YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. Lobster Street Tacos
Street tacos served in a crispy wonton shell with a fresh lobster salad and freshly chopped romaine.  
 
Serve with a light blonde ale for the beer lover, or a crisp champagne for a more elegant occasion.  Veuve Clicquot Rose would be a beautiful bubbles pairing for this item.
 
Ingredients:
Lobster Claw or Leg meat, pre-cooked and chilled-8 oz
Freshly Chopped celery - 2 tablespoons
Freshly Chopped red onion - 2 teaspoons
Cole Slaw Dressing - 4 teaspoons
Dijon Mustard - 1/2 teaspoon
Kosher Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Ground Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
Fresh Romaine Lettuce as desired
 
Procedure:
1. Choose your favorite crispy taco shell.  We mold wonton shells to make tacos, but you can choose an off the shelf taco for home.  A specialty foods store like Whole Foods will have fun versions of these for a little extra flair.
2. Take your pre-cooked lobster claws and dice up into bite-sized pieces. 
3. Then take all your seasonings and ingredients and mix together with your favorite cole slaw dressing.  
4. Now it‚„s time to build your taco.
5. Take your crispy shell and coat the bed of the taco with romaine.  Add your fresh lobster salad to fill as desired.
6. You can top with fresh cilantro for an extra fresh flavor if desired.
7. Serve to guests with a fresh lemon wedge on the side so they can add if desired.  The lemon will bring out the sweetness of the fresh lobster.
