We ate Maccurtis for dinner !!!
Anis’s got a souvenir from a friend coming back from Kota Kinabalu. A a big frozen lobster. Almost 1 Kg I think.
(Please disregard the Maccurtis part beacuse the writer has never had a lobster before :p uu.. peraknya aku …)
This is a Maccurtis :
This is how big it is compared to Ultrasaurus, see i’ve told you it’s big :
This is Maccurtis bathing in a hot tub , oh BTW, the stock makes one mean Tom Yam :
Being sliced in half with the help of Sword Impluse Gundam :
Spicy Herbed Butter (modified from a recipe i’ve found on the net)
- 100g Butter
- 2 medium chillies
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 small shallots
- 2-3 tablespoon fresh chives / 1 tbs dried if available
- 1 tbs lime juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- salt to taste
Throw everything into a spice mill (the short blender accessory thingie). Blend well.
Now brush it with some spicy herb butter, and grill it on a hot plate :
Here’s the result :
Spicy Herbed Butter Grilled Maccurtis >:)
Very nice and (uber-)spicy (damn cameron chillies !!). Flesh tasted like a jumbo prawn but amplified by 5X. The tail part was a bit though. Normal for an overgrown shrimp :p
For otak udang lovers (not the black laksa stuff), that the biggest i’ve ever eaten :p
Must be very expensive to get. till then, I’ll stick to normal prawns … :p
