Don't know if this is the place to talk about my last cook, since it is not technically BBQ.... Feel free to move it wherever you think it should go. It's quite popular dish back at home, especially during the summer months when it is consumed in a number of waterfront taverns and fish restaurants all over Greece. You separate the head from the tail of the lobster/crayfish. You boil the heads with with some veggies to make a stock and allow it to reduce somewhat. When the bisque is done, you make a good tomato sauce using the lobster broth you made. You split the lobster tail lengthwise, season with S&P and add it to the tomato sauce you made. Allow it to cook but be careful not to overcook it, adding some more broth if you feel your sauce is becoming too dry. On a separate pan you bring some water to boil. Season with salt and some of your lobster broth and boil the spaghetti or fettuccine (as I did) till al dente. Be careful not to overcook them as they will cook some more in the sauce. Strain well and add to the sauce and stir to combine. Garnish with chopped parsley and cracked pepper.

Dunno if anyone else cares mate but as far as I'm concerned a good cook can go in whatever board you like and that is a good cook. Besides, you could have done it on the Q if you wanted I have a bit of an aversion to spaghetti these days, like you I go with fettucine, tastier somehow. I don't recall ever eating lobster in your home country, which now I think of it is a little odd considering how many times I've been there but, I had had pretty much exactly that dish in a crazy little Greek place just outside Washington that is a very well kept secret of the boys from Langley. The spooks do love their seafood and they don't like politicians knowing where they eat Looks delicious mate Cheers

Jeez your a mongrel. LOL. I started drooling just at the name, I had lobster tails served with spaghetti and a lobster bisque and olive oil sauce in a high class restaurant in Sydney it had to be one of the top 10 meals I have ever had. Yours does it justice and it was home made.
The topic should be what did you cook, if I was to vote on the best this year, yours would win hands down. Top marks for a great dish.

The OED please Mick, an American Dictionary of the English Language ? I've been trying to think of a board title that means the same but isn't "What did you cook?" Phil. So far have "Fruits of the Kitchen" and "Show s your cooks". Not there yet Cheers

OMG, does that look good OZY
Cray tails are one of those ingredients that, given the cost factor attached, ya wanna use in a recipe that will work, and do justice to the outlay.....
.... that my friend has been achieved.
The method reads well, and, I can closely imagine in my mind what the dish would taste like.
That said, it would be a winner in this household.
Nice work and thanks for posting this one
