Best 5 Chilli Lobster Recipes

DR. BBQ'S LOBSTER WITH CHILI-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium heat. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and blend in the lime juice, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Split the lobsters completely in half down the back with a chef's knife. Remove the tails and claws. Discard the rest. Crack the shells on the claws and inject or drizzle them each with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season the tails lightly with the rub. Grill the tails and claws for about 5 minutes on each side. Spoon some of the Chili-Lime Butter into the tail shells. Cook until the lobster is just barely done, another 4 to 5 minutes. This will vary depending on your grill. Serve the remaining Chili-Lime Butter for dipping.

CHILI LOBSTER WITH TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Fill a large pot with salted water and place it over high heat until it comes to a boil. Poach the lobsters for approximately 5 minutes, then remove from water and place in an ice bath to cool them quickly. (Do not discard the poaching liquid.) Once they are cooled, cut off the claws, knuckles and tails and refrigerate them until ready to prepare the final dish. Split open the heads, and remove the tomalley, which is delicious to some but not so pretty in this dish. Lift the legs away from the shell to reveal the gills, and cut them out using scissors. Break the heads apart by hand into large pieces.
• Place a large, oven-safe saucepan over high heat, and add the oil, heating it until it shimmers and verges on smoking. Add the lobster heads to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste to coat the shells. Add the shallots, stir to combine and put the pan in the oven. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, or until well roasted.
• Transfer the pan to the stove. Add the wine and herbs, bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add 6 cups of the reserved lobster poaching liquid to the reduced stock. Simmer the stock for an additional 90 minutes, reducing it. Strain through a fine sieve.
• Make the chili lobster. Cut the tails into 1-inch pieces, then crack the claws and remove the meat. In a wok or a large skillet set over high heat, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil until just smoking. Add the ginger and onion and cook, stirring, for approximately 1 minute. Add the lobster tails, still in their shell, and the claw meat, turn heat down to medium and cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until hot. Add the stock, and return it to a boil. Transfer lobster pieces to a large serving plate, leaving the stock in the pan to reduce by half. Sprinkle the lobster with mint.
• To the reduced stock, add soy and Sriracha and whisk in 3 tablespoons butter, one tablespoon at a time. Add a squeeze of lime juice, and adjust seasonings. Toast the bread, butter it generously and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cut into triangles. Spoon sauce over the lobster and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve with toast

CHILLI LOBSTER BISQUE

Steps:

• To get a hold of a few lobster bodies, swing past a good fresh seafood wholesaler, and ask for the goods. chances are you will be able to pick them up free or of minimum cost. while you are there grab the lobster meat you need for the recipe.
• boil the shells only in a large pot with a litre or so of water for about an hour or so. in my opinion to get the best flavour out of a meal sometimes it takes a little time and i don't feel like this is the kind of recipe that you will be whipping up after work or before you grab the kids from school. It should be crafted with all the time and patience that this soup deserves.
• Once the shells are cooked out sieve off the stock and continue to simmer until it has reduced by about half. you should have a potent and freshly made stock ready for your soup.
• In a large pan sauté the finely diced shallots and garlic in a smack of good quality olive oil,
• add the tomato paste and suger and let it sizzle a bit to cook out the bitterness.
• once slightly browned deglaze the pan with the wine. a nice dry white should do the job, nothing too sweet.
• add the lobster stock and bring to the boil, continue to simmer if you feel like there is still too much liquid in the pan, you want about 800 ml's i reckon.
• stir in the cream and your bisque should start to look like it should. give it a good stir and while you're at it, stir in the chopped lobster meat allowing it to cook through.
• add the chilli to taste, you can really add as much or as little as you like. i like it with a good bit of kick!
• allow it some time to simmer and really let those ingredients get comfortable with each other. it will only taste better. you can control the flavour this way by how much you choose to reduce the soup or not.
• It should be served in a big flat bowl, feel free to stir in a tablespoon of sour cream and garnish with a big sprig of flat leaved parsley. it should look as good as it tastes.
• Also goes down extremely well with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of new zealand Sav Blanc. Enjoy it. Rome wasn't built in a day!
