Pan fried Lobster on roasted capsicum and topped with basil pesto
This is my favourite dish in the whole world. You have to make this Lobster dish to believe the flavour this dish creates. Sometimes I like to paste the pesto on top of my lobster and toast the pesto under the grill just before serving.
Place the red and green capsicum on a baking tray and rub with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Bake in the oven on 380F for 12 minutes. Take the capsicum out of the oven and cool down. When the capsicums are cold. Peel the skin off and take out the top stalk and all the seeds. Slice the roasted capsicum flesh into strip and leave aside.
Make the basil pesto by adding all the pesto ingredients into a food processor and puree. Slowly add the olive oil until the pesto is combined.
Place the olive oil in a large frying pan and heat. Add the Lobster fillets into the hot pan and pan fry on both sides until the Lobster fillets become golden brown.
Place the Lobster fillet onto a small baking tray and spread the basil pesto across the top of the lobster. Roast the pesto topped Lobster fillets under the grill. Re-heat the roasted capsicum in a small pan and place onto your serving plate. Place the Lobster on top of the roasted capsicum.
