What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Lazy “Lobster” Wrap! When you don’t live at the ocean where lobster is in abundant supply, the next best thing is an imitation variety. Alaska pollock is not only heart-healthy, fat-free, and packed with omega-3 in every serving, it’s readily available at your neighborhood market. Amazingly, this mock lobster is a surprising alternative. Eat it now and with the money you save, you can stuff yourself with real lobster when you travel to the shore.
LAZY “LOBSTER” WRAP
Ingredients:
7-ounce package of chunk-style imitation lobster
1 tablespoon lemon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
cracked pepper to taste
sea salt to taste
1 pat of butter
Vidalia onion slices
1 4-ounce container of crab dip, deli-style
2 flour tortillas
Spring Mix Salad Greens
Instructions:
In a medium skillet, sautΓ© imitation chunk lobster and onion slices in lemon olive oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. While still warm, add 1 pat of butter. Cook an additional minute to blend flavors. Remove from heat. To assemble wrap: Take a flour tortilla, spread on a layer of crab dip, top with salad greens, and add a spoonful of lobster mixture. Roll it together to form a wrap. Serve warm or cold.
Looks delicious. Great name.

Do you ever use sour cream or mayonnaise in your crab dip? Just curious about different versions and I like adding pepper flakes and lemon juice.

For the past six months I’ve been substituting Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I like it so much better! Also, it’s NeufchΓ’tel instead of cream cheese. Yummy! π
