Photo: Lobster and Shells Recipe
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- Good olive oil
- 1 pound small pasta shells, such as Ronzoni
- Kernels from 8 ears of corn (about 6 cups)
- 12 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 2 yellow or orange bell peppers, seeded and small-diced
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 pounds cooked fresh lobster meat, medium-diced
- 1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups minced fresh dill
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt and some olive oil. Add the pasta and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Add the corn to the pasta and cook it for another 2 minutes, until the corn is tender. Drain the pasta and corn together in a colander and pour them into a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, diced pepper, tomatoes, and lobster, tossing gently to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth. Pour over the pasta and mix well to bind the ingredients. Stir in the dill. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 6 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Check the seasonings and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Delicious, easy and versatile!! you can use Crab meat instead of Lobster. Add some avocado in cubes for perfection.

I made this for a gathering of ladies. I did however change from lobster to chuncks of Polish ham. It was delicious. They all wanted the recipe. I'll be making it again. I would like to have nutrition information.

I made this salad for a birthday party where there were 20 guests. I made it the day before the party except I put the seafood and the tomatoes in the day of the party and it turned out just great. I listened to other reviews and did not add all of the dill or all of the salt. I also used shrimp and crab since I could not find cooked lobster and I did not want to cook it myself. Everyone loved the salad and there was very little left. I would make this again.
