I’m a seafood junkie who loves eating lobster, crab, shrimp, scallops, and calamari. It doesn’t get much better than a whole steamed lobster, king crab legs, seared scallops, and hot drawn butter.
I’d feel guilty if I didn’t mention mussels and clams. Steamer clams or soft-shelled steamed clams are so delicious.
This lobster fried rice recipe doesn’t take long to make and is very very good.
What rice to use for fried rice?
For me, white rice trumps all other rice for making fried rice dishes. Day-old white rice is the best. If you want real fried rice, use rice that has been cooked the day before or refrigerated for a few hours.
You can also use this recipe to make seafood fried rice with a couple of types of seafood or you can use crab, shrimp, or whatever you like.

Instructions
- Preheat a large wok or skillet to medium-high
- Cut the lobster tail in bite size pieces

- Remove the lobster and turn the heat down to medium. Add the garlic, ginger, yellow onion, and peas to the pan and cook until tender (5-6 minutes)
