Lobster topped twice baked potato casserole was my favorite dinner of the week, one big potato was enough for two for a last-minute dinner idea and was delicious, a definite do again. Any potatoes will do and your favorite twice-baked recipe will work, mine was pretty much ad-libbed so adjust ingredients to suit you. Season casserole with salt and pepper and a pinch of seafood seasoning serve with a tossed or wedge salad.
I discovered a small turkey while freezer diving and not feeling much like a “Thanksgiving” dinner, I decided to make pulled turkey BBQ, certainly not as popular as pork BBQ but very good after simmering all day (6-8 hours) in a slow cooker then easily shredded, ready to serve alone or on toasted buns with a perky slaw and hushpuppies. Epicurious has a nice recipe for hushpuppies, I was out of goat cheese , a softer chèvre worked fine and I added a bit of green pepper, seeded pickled jalapenos and a touch of the juice: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Jalapeno-Goat-Cheese-Hush-Puppies-360769
Grilled Lobster and Twice-Baked Potato Casserole
Brush the lobster tails with EVOO and grill while the casserole is baking, remove meat and let the lobster meat swim in clarified butter until the casserole is ready. Eat the lobster by itself of slice into large pieces and top finished casserole, season as you wish with salt, pepper, and pinches seafood seasoning.
Casserole
1 garlic clove, pressed
splashes of buttermilk to get the consistency you prefer
(2) When potatoes are cool enough to handle scoop the inside of the potatoes into a bowl. I crisped the potato skins (brush with EVOO and bake until crispy), perfect for scooping or chop up to add to the casserole, but not necessary.
(4) Mix ingredients (adding buttermilk as needed)
(5) Top with remaining cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min.
