Uncle Yu's makes a pan-fried lobster with scallions and jalapenos to 
kill for. I cannot, however, vouch for the authenticity of the 
recipe, however: it has lots of jalapenos. And they use those 
clawless Australian lobsters, so there is no claw meat.

What business do Indo-Pacific lobsters have living without those big 
claws, anyway?

Our next plan is to do for Balmain Bugs what the New Zealand Fruit 
Marketing Board did for the Chinese Gooseberrry...
