Directions

Step 1: To make the lobster cakes:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, and fresh ginger and whisk to combine.

Step 2:

Add the scallions and cilantro, the chili sauce, cayenne, kosher salt, and cracker meal to the bowl and stir.

Step 3:

Incorporate all the ingredients. Add chopped lobster meat and mix until well combined.

Step 4:

Using a ¼ cup measure, or your hands, form 2-inch discs out of the lobster cake mixture and dip each into the cracker crumbs.

Step 5:

Make sure they are lightly coated all around, and set aside on a cookie sheet that fits into the refrigerator. Continue with the remaining crab cake mixture. Chill for 30 minutes.

Step 6: To cook the lobster cakes:

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan with a thin film. Add the cakes one at a time, making sure not to crowd them in the pan. Cook on the first side for about 4 minutes, then flip each cake to the other side, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. You are trying to get a nice brown crust while heating the crab cake through.

Step 7:

Serve with the tarragon aioli and the side salad.
