Serves 2

Ingredients

For the bowl:

• 1 cup cooked Maine Lobster meat
• 1 tsp oil
• ½ tsp cajun seasoning
• 1 ¼ cup cooked white (or brown) rice
• 1 cup black beans, drained, rinsed, and cooked
• 1 cup corn, cooked
• ½ avocado, sliced
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

For the creamy cilantro lime dressing:

• ½ avocado
• ⅓ cup cilantro
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 small garlic clove
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. If you haven’t already, cook the rice according to the instructions on the package.
2. Next, make the dressing: add all of the dressing ingredients to a small blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. If you’re having trouble getting it to mix, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
3. Place lobster meat in a bowl, then sprinkle the cajun seasoning over the top and stir to combine.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the seasoned lobster and cook for 2-3 minutes until water evaporates.
5. Lastly, assemble the bowls: divide rice evenly amongst 2 bowls, then add the cooked beans, corn, avocado, and lobster meat.
6. Drizzle with the dressing and enjoy!
