Best 6 Broiled Lobster New York Restaurant Style Recipes

THE BEST BROILED LOBSTER TAIL RECIPE (FAST & EASY)

Steps:

• If tails are frozen, thaw them overnight in the fridge, or in a bag submerged in cold water on the counter for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to Broil (500 degrees F or 260 degrees C). Rinse the defrosted lobster shells. Set the oven rack such that lobster tails placed on a baking sheet would be 4 to 5 inches away from the broiler.
• Butterfly the lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the shell lengthwise, starting from the end opposite the tail fins, continuing down until you reach the tail but without cutting the tail. You want to cut through the top of the shell, but don't cut through the bottom shell. Use your thumbs and fingers to spread open the shell on top, then gently pull the lobster meat upward, separating it away from the bottom shell, leaving the end attached to the tail fin intact. Slightly push together the empty shell underneath and place the row of meat on top. Place the butterflied lobster tail onto the baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Brush the butter mixture over the lobster meat.
• Broil the lobster tails until the meat is opaque and lightly browned, about 1 minute per ounce of individual tail. (For example, broil for 10-ounce lobster tails for 10 minutes.)

PERFECT LOBSTER TAILS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle with kitchen shears. Then, using a knife, cut all the way through the tails to split into 2 pieces. Place them flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
• Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter on the flesh of each lobster tail half. Broil until the shells turn a bright orange, the flesh is opaque and cooked through and the tails begin to curl, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the tails to a serving platter and top each half with another teaspoon of the compound butter (save the remainder for another use).

BRAISED LOBSTER

Steps:

• Cook lobster (either steam, boil or broil) for 12 minutes- shock in an ice bath to stop cooking. Remove meat from tail. Cut tail in half. Crack claws and remove meat.
• For chanterelles, clean well, cut down to size. Saute with shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Drain well and reserve liquid. Cool.
• For Fingerlings cook with thyme, bay leaves, onion and garlic.
• Cook Macaroni for 10 to 11 minutes. Blanch and shock, toss in olive oil.
• Once reduced and strained place Broth in saute pan and bring to a simmer. Add lobster meat, chanterelles, fingerlings, and pasta. Reduce sauce. Mount with butter, and garnish with oregano.
• Put all ingredients in a large pot at medium heat. Reduce by 60 percent. Strain.

BROILED LOBSTER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Plunge the lobsters into the water (one or two at a time if necessary) and cook just until they turn red, about 2 minutes. Remove them and plunge into an ice-water bath to stop the cooking. (You can do this several hours in advance and refrigerate the lobsters until you're ready to proceed.) Split the tails down the middle of their soft undersides so they will lie flat.
• Preheat broiler, and adjust the rack so there will be about 3 inches between the lobsters and the heating element. Broil the lobsters until they are hot and their shells just begin to char, about 10 minutes. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with the vinaigrette.

• Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, carefully cut top side of lobster shells lengthwise. Pull apart shells slightly, and season meat with equal amounts butter, paprika, salt, and white pepper.

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Generously salt boiling water and return to a boil. Plunge lobsters headfirst into boiling water and cook for 5 minutes; immediately transfer to ice-water bath to cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix together butter, parsley, chives, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• With a large knife, cut cooled lobsters in half lengthwise. Place cut side up on a baking sheet and brush cut side with butter mixture.
• Transfer to broiler and broil until lobsters are golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
