Wash your king oyster mushrooms and cut the brown caps off the top as well as the hard bottom inch or so.
Cut the remaining middle of the large mushroom stems into chunks about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. (about the size and shape of a chunk of lobster.)
In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of kelp flakes. Heat until it starts to boil then add the chunks of oyster mushrooms and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and add them to a frying pan with 1 tablespoon of melted vegan butter and another small sprinkle of old bay seasoning. Saute on low for another 5 minutes.
Serve them on a plate with a sprinkle of paprika for color and some melted vegan butter for dipping.
Garnish with some parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
Don't overcook the vegan lobster pieces. You want them to remain tender.
Serve the vegan lobster warm with melted vegan butter.
