Who says lobster tacos are only for summer? With this delicious new spin on the fish taco craze, these Jamaican Rock Lobster Tacos<\/a> are a must-have all year round. Perhaps your New Year\u2019s Resolution is to cook with more watermelon or establish healthier eating habits. If so, you\u2019re in luck with this recipe.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s also low in calories and fat and contains high levels of Vitamins A and B.<\/p>\n

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