- 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped red onion (about 40 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, exposing the meat.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, flesh side up.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the lobster meat.
- Season the lobster tails with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Roast the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Remove the lobster from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, chopped lobster meat, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the orzo and lobster mixture.
- Add the chopped fresh parsley to the orzo salad.
- Toss the salad gently until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
- Scoop out a small portion of the avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling.
- Fill each avocado half with the lobster and orzo salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Consider adding extra mayonnaise to the dressing for a creamier texture.
- Enhance the flavors by squeezing fresh lemon juice into the avocado before filling it.
- Sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs on top of the filled avocados for added crunch.
