lobster pasta salad

Guys! I’m guest posting for my pal, Kim, over at Cravings of a Lunatic today!

I bet when Kim read my post she was thinkin’: this scampi happening. But that’s what happens when you hand control of your blog over to salmon else. Should I have scaled back on the fish puns? Probably. But I can keep this sort of thing up for a whale…

You can find my recipe for lobster pasta salad over at Cravings of a Lunatic, or at the bottom of this post. It’s a great make-ahead option for kitchen parties and ceilidhs. The lemon, dill and sour cream add a little tartness to the dressing, which is balanced by the sweetness of the lobster and corn. It isn’t overly dressed or dripping with mayonnaise, and it’s super easy to throw together.

So, meet me over at Kim’s. Bonus: you’ll get to sea some photos of Kim in fishing mode. It’s a great oppor-tuna-ty.
