Summer is for Lobster

Summer is for lobsters, and lucky me, I have made friends with a lobster guy in Rockport Harbor from whom I get them right off the boat.

Having such easy access means opportunity for experimenting with lobster in a variety of dishes.  One of my favorites is lobster risotto, usually the one here.   Yummy as is, I decided to tweak it a bit for this night’s dinner with friends.  Corn and lobster are a natural combo  and with corn being plentiful and sweet this time of the summer, it seemed a perfect addition as did roasted heirloom tomatoes.  

I can’t tell you whether this recipe was significantly better than the other, but I can tell you everyone went for second helpings! 

For any table where lobster is served, some combination of the same things are used.  Since risotto is a little more “uptown” than steamed lobster these…
