  • Lobster: Place the lobster in a large mixing bowl.

  • Pour over the lobster and season with the parsley and cilantro.
  • Mix and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Salsa: Drain the corn of any excess water.
  • Heat a medium saute pan on high adding a small amount of extra virgin olive oil to the bottom.
  • Saute the corn just until a light brown color forms.
  • In the meantime, in a small mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, cilantro, salt, peppers, and limejuice.
  • As soon as the corn is fully cooked add to the tomato mix.
  • Heat the tortilla shells in the microwave for 15 seconds.
  • Spread them out on the counter.
  • One at a time spread 1/4 cup of cheese over half.
  • Add the salsa (dividing it evenly) and finally the lobster meat.
  • Fold the shell over.
  • Gently brush both sides of the shell with melted butter before heating it on the stovetop.
  • Using a large saute pan turn the stove up to medium high heat.
  • Carefully place the shells, two at a time, into the pan.
  • It’s about 3 minutes per side or just until the shell starts to crisp around edges and turn light brown.
  • When they are done cooking, make sure the stove is turned off.
  • Cut the quesadillas into thirds.
  • Sour Cream: Whisk together in a small mixing bowl sour cream, salt, limejuice and lime zest; serve as a side.
