RECIPE: ROCK LOBSTER AND WATERMELON TACOS



Who says lobster tacos are only for summer? With this delicious new spin on the fish taco craze, these Jamaican Rock Lobster Tacos are a must-have all year round. Perhaps your New Year’s Resolution is to cook with more watermelon or establish healthier eating habits. If so, you’re in luck with this recipe.

Lobster, among other shellfish, is reported to be a healthy way to consume protein and other important nutrients. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, this helps to lower the risk of heart disease. It’s also low in calories and fat and contains high levels of Vitamins A and B.

Not that you needed yet another reason to dig into these tacos. You know, other than that fact that they contain lobster and watermelon.
