A can of already diced tomatoes and green chilies along with a block of melted Velveeta can be an extra fancy party dip when you add crumbled lobster!

Ingredients
Lobster
- 6 oz Water
- 2 5 oz Lobster tails
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
Dip
- Original RoTel 10 oz
- 2 Pound(s) 32 oz Velveeta Cheese
- Prepared Lobster
Instructions
Prepare the Lobster
- Bring 6 ounces of water to boil in a pot. Once boiling, add salt.
- Turn heat down to simmering and add Lobster tails. Allow them to simmer for approximately 5 minutes (1 minute per ounce of the largest tail).
- Drain the water and allow the tails to cool for a minute or two in a strainer or colander.
- Using scissors, cut the tails lengthwise, spread the shells with your fingers and remove all the meat.
- Crumble and/or shred the lobster tail meat.
Prepare the Dip:
- Cube Velveeta into large microwavable bowl.
- Add RoTel
- Microwave on high, stirring every 30-60 seconds until all the cheese is melted. Be very careful that you don't burn it.
- Add in the prepared lobster, stir well.
- Serve with Tortilla chips.
Notes
- I like to liquefy the RoTel in my food processor before adding it to the Velveeta, but it isn't necessary.
- If you run a wooden skewer through the lobster tails before boiling them, they will stay straight and be easier to get meat from.
