Heat a sauté pan over high heat and add olive oil.

pepper, and sear that side until nicely browned and caramelized.
Reduce the heat to medium-high, flip and cook for 3-4 minutes

Wine Notes:
Tsingtao Lager
Tsingtao Brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers in Qingdao, China.
Crisp, slightly malty flavor and nutty sweet flavor that pairs well with
spicy foods ands Asian cuisine. Brewed with the finest all-natural
ingredients including domestically-grown hops, high quality barley and
spring water from China's Laoshan mountain region. A great fit with the
lobster stir-fry.
2005 Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Sauvignon
Blanc
88% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Semillon, 2% Chardonnay. Aromas of lime, melon and
pears. Refreshing, with a mineral quality and a surprisingly long finish.
Pairs very well with the shrimp and mushroom duxelles.
