Lobster Fried Rice

Nectarine Salad with Burrata and Hazelnuts

Lobster Fried Rice (Thai Style)

Nectarines are in season and we made a simple Salad with sliced Nectarines, Burrata Cheese and Hazelnuts. It was very refreshing. I like summer fruit salads.

We had dinner at Newport Seafood (our favorite Chinese restaurant). We always get their special Lobster. We ordered a lobster that was big enough that we knew we would have leftovers. We took the leftover lobster home along with the shells of the lobster that we ate. We then proceeded to make  Thai Lobster Fried Rice with the leftover Lobster. We use the recipe for: Fried Rice with Crab from Thai Street Food by David Thompson. We simply substituted the crab with Lobster. It was as good or better than any Fried Rice we get a restaurants. This is a recipe (with Crab or Pork or Shrimp, or lobster) that you should try. We used the lobster shells that we brought home, plus the lobster shells from the lobster that we used in the Fried Rice and made lobster stock by just covering the shells with water and boiling for about an hour or so. We then froze the stock for future use. The fried rice was unbelievably good!
