Lobster Fra Diavolo


1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 28 oz cans peeled plum tomatoes with juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 live lobsters
salt and pepper
pasta

heat 2 tablesppons of oil in skillet. add garlic and cook 2 min.-dont brown. add juice from toatoes to stop garlic from cooking.
crush tomatoes with your hands and add to skillet.
add oregano, red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
simmer for 20 min, skimming off any foam or oil that rises to the top
kill lobsters by stabbing them in the head behind the eyes, cut in half and clean out green stuff and stomach sac.
remove the legs and boil them in 1 1/2 cups of water till it boils down to about a cup. strain and add 1/2 cup to tomato sauce.
heat the rest of the oil and sear lobster shell side down till they are bright red, remove them and drain on paper towels. when all the halves are done add them to the tomato sauce and cook for another five min.
salt and pepper to taste
serve over pasta with bread.
If you dont want to bother with boiling the legs, add a cup of bottled clam juice instead.

buon appetito

So How was your lobster?
What recipe have you tried?
BTW did you know that it takes a lobster approximately seven years to grow to be one pound? Man, 7 years, I wonder what is their lifespan?

Lobsters don't feel pain, just boil'em live.

ot: Cows and sheep do feel pain, a misdirected shotgun blast would be inhumane (if you aim, you aim for an instant kill). Quick and painless would be ideal, this ideal is rarely met or approached in the US.

There are historical societies in Quebec that deal with geneology. I suspect you could trace back your family history to the early 1600s, and perhaps that could lead you to even earlier records which may still exist in France. Church records of births, marriages and deaths are usually a best bet.

I doubt lobsters feel any pain to be honest... They do have feeling for sure though cause they can tell if you move your fingers through one of their claws.

AFAIK, they don't have vocal cords. I thought it was the same reason why kettles make a noise.
