Spicy Lobster Pasta

Spicy Lobster Pasta is one of the result from my foraging on Jakarta’s traditional fish market, Muara Angke. This wet, crowded and damn smelly fish market provide many range of seafood product; many kinds of fish, clams, crabs, lobsters and rare seafood like mantis shrimp with incredibly less expensive price compare to the modern fish market and seafood restaurant. Just make sure that you’ve understand about seafood product, since there’s also sold unfresh and fake product like red snapper and clams that had been fortified with non-food coloring to attract the customers.

Pasta with Lobster in Spicy Seasoning

I purchased 8 spinny lobster with totally 3.7 kilos weight (doubt this is the correct weight) for about 13 USD for a single kilo. Make sure you’ve giving your best shoots on bargain in Muara Angke traditional fish market sice the fish monger used to upscale their price for tourist. Ask the cheaper price when you buying a large amount, if you only buy a kilo or two, the fish monger give it on 15-17 USD a kilo, but he’ll give you 13-14 USD a kilo for purchasing more than two kilos.

Lobster Noodle, Mie Lobster

Spicy lobster pasta with cherry tomato, chilli and garlic green was a simple lobster recipe that won’t failed in your special occation. Tangy cherry tomato with a savoury touch from slightly browned garlic green and a little kick’in from cayenne pepper is just what all needed to present the natural sweetness of the lobster. If you like, you can simmer the lobster head first to extract the flavour and using it to the pasta. Some people like to completely peel off the meat out of the shell, but i choose to serve it within the shell.
