There may be a cabbage hater in the crowd, but you can win him or her over with this new-take-on-a-slaw salad. Shredded crisp cabbages, vegetables, and mango fruit tossed with a lightly sweet, tangy and a touch-of-spice dressing are only made even better when topped with plump freshly cold lobster meat, sliced avocados, and crunchy salty chopped cashew nuts. Think of this light and flavorful meal-in-a-bowl as a Caribbean vacation without leaving your house

1. For the remoulade: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne pepper, lime zest, and minced garlic and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. For Fritters: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and paprika.
3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg yolks, then stir in the corn and lobster. Add to the flour mixture and mix well.
