Lobster Mac and Cheese
After the first time I made this Publick House Mac and Cheese, I knew I’d be making it again soon. With lobster. As I mentioned, Hubby loves when The Publick House has this special on their menu and I wanted to recreate it for him.
I decided to get pre-cooked lobster meat instead of cooking the lobsters myself. I headed over to Wulf’s Fish Market where they did the hard work for me. I did have to wait for the lobster meat to be removed from the freshly cooked lobsters, so I ran other errands and came back for it. I got two lobsters worth of meat which came out to about 3/4 of a pound.
I mixed the lobster in to 1/3 of the mac and cheese that this recipe makes. I actually made a whole batch of the mac and cheese and used part of it for this Lobster Mac and Cheese and I mixed roasted vegetables into the rest of it.

Lobster Mac and Cheese
Lobster pairs perfectly with this subtle creamy mac and cheese
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/3 batch of mac and cheese
meat from 2 lobsters (~3/4 lb of meat)
Directions:
Make mac and cheese according to this recipe but do not bake it. Either only make 1/3 of the original recipe, or make the entire recipe and scoop out 1/3 of the mac and cheese.
Stir the cooked lobster meat in to the mac and cheese prior to baking at 350F for 20 minutes.

That looks really good, a new take on potato salad..can’t wait to try it out!
Mmm I like potato salad and with coriander yum!

Lemon and cilantro are the perfect couple! I love your story — I have a notebook with family recipes in it with names like “Christina’s Dip” or “Mary’s Potato Salad” (yes, I have a potato salad lady too!). I feel that it is only fitting to name the dish after them 🙂
That looks great! We are having the in-laws over Friday night and grilling burgers and I think this will be a perfect side!
Hubby’s Mom here: for those who don’t like cilantro (and I know, hard to believe there are people who don’t like it), you can substitute basil. This potato salad is really good either way.
This sounds wonderfully fresh and flavorful. I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise-y potato salad so this sounds great!

Oooh potato salad definitely makes me think of warm weather. And even more so with lemon and cilantro! Plus, it’s so pretty 🙂

we made this last night and it was awesome!! will definitely be making it again. so easy and delicious!
Love your blog!! We made this last night – it was amazing!!! We love potato salad, but never eat it because of how horrible it is for you. This is going to be a summer staple recipe for us. Thanks!!!
I’m making this now, but what do I do with the shallot?
Marguerite – If you’re using shallots instead of scallions, just add them in near the end where it says to stir in the scallion.s
