I pretty much used all my vacation time up with our spring break cruise in March, and our trip to DC in May. That means no summer getaways for this kid. But I can pretend I took a trip to Key West over the summer with Lobster Tacos!
We have several groups of friends that take an annual trip to The Keys for Lobster Season, and lucky for me, they bring us back lobstah – which may actually be better, because while I love KW, I have like zero desire to dive for lobsters. I do have a strong desire for pub crawls, bike rides, and Key Lime Pie, but I digress.
These tacos are fresh, light, and indulgent! They sound fancy, but are easy to make, and can be on your table in less than 3o minutes. If you’re going on a summer vacay, you could wow friends and family with these tacos. If you’re stuck at home, you can ‘pretend’ like me, and always pick up lobster from your local seafood counter.
Both the cabbage, and aioli can be made ahead of time. I was watching an episode on the Cooking Channel when I saw the recipe for this Cabbage Slaw; purple cabbage, apple cider vinegar and salt. Let it sit for a while, and helllllo flavah. It is seriously so good, you guys.
Make these tacos with your standard tortilla, or throw em’ in lettuce cups. Either way, they’re insanely tasty. I promise it!

These sound delicious! We are all big lobster fans in our house (including my two-year old!) so this might have to be one we try.
I am impressed your two-year old likes lobster! It took me a long time to decide I liked it 🙂
I would love if my friends brought me lobster. I have been wanting to take a trip to Maine for fresh lobster but Key West might be a good option especially since we are so close here in Florida. This recipe sounds delish so I am interested to try it soon.
I will definitely have to try this recipe, they look delicious!
Thanks Shelby! We had quite a week of seafood for #WeekdaySupper, didn’t we? Your salad shrimp rolls looks sooo yummy!
I need some avocado aoli in my life.
You had me at lobster!! This sounds delicious!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh my goodness YES!! I need to figure out what I can sub for the avocado because I am allergic now *big foodie pout* but these have got to happen at my house SOON!!
I have been trying to think of an avo alternative, and I can’t think of anything…BUT I promise the slaw is so good you won’t even miss the aioli!
