Lobster Salad

Going to a potluck Christmas party at our old neighborhood and bring a Lobster salad...
To prepare : Put the lobster into a large pot of boiling water seasoned with salt & pepper. Depending on lobster size, boil around 10 to 20 minutes (for 3 lobsters - 20 mn). When cool, remove the lobster flesh from the tails and slice thinly. Boil some prawns (it takes only a few seconds, when prawns turn pink, remove and drain, deshell, remove intestine, slice in half). Meanwhile prepare a macedoine of vegetable (asparagus tips, corn, carrots, peas - defrost if frozen), mixed with canned fruit cocktail, drained. Mix with home-made or packaged low fat mayo, mixed with mustard (or wasabi) and dash of worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper. Mix in the sliced cooked prawns. Display on a platter, and arrange the lobster slices on top, garnish with parsley... It makes a festive salad/appetizer!
