Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

4 lobster tails, about 6 ounces each
2 yellow tomatoes, halved, seeded, grilled and chopped
12 kalamata olives, pitted, sliced 1/8-inch
2 heads garlic, roasted, skinned and broken into cloves
2 red peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and julienned
1 cup shredded basil
12 ounces mild chevre cheese, crumbled
2 ounces extra virgin olive oil
3 ounces Absolut Mandarin vodka
1 envelope active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup water
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons minced basil
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
2 tablespoons peanut oil
Olive oil for brushing crust
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon minced basil
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon lime zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 jicama
3 carrots

Steps:

  • To roast garlic: cut off the top and remove the excess papery skin and rub with oil. Season and wrap in foil. Place the foil on medium heat and grill for 40 minutes. Place lobster tails shell side down on a cutting board. Take a chef's knife and cut lengthwise through the tough underside of the tail, but don't cut the flesh. (Shears will also work). Run a skewer through the length of the tail. Grill shell side down over medium heat until the flesh turns opaque, about 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the shell and slice into 3/8-inch slices.
  • Combine yeast, sugar and water in a medium bowl. Stir and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until foamy. Add flour, basil, chipotle, orange zest, salt and oil. Mix until it holds together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Place dough in a bowl that is lightly oiled. Turn the dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down the dough and divide in 4 equal pieces. Return to lightly floured work surface and roll into 8 inch rounds 1/8-inch thick. Lightly oil, brush or spray, both sides of each round and place on baking sheets. Slide the crusts off the sheets onto the grill directly over medium heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Put the crusts back on baking sheet, grilled side up.
  • While pizza crusts are hot, brush with oil and add in order: olives, chopped tomato, red pepper, garlic, basil, lobster and cheese. Place pizzas carefully back on the grill for 3 minutes. While pizzas are on the grill, quickly shake 3 ounces vodka from a powdered sugar shaker on each pizza and flame. Remove immediately to serving platters. Flames will go out. Cut and serve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk orange juice, lime juice, oil, basil, zests and salt and pepper. Peel the jicama and carrots. Julienne the vegetables in even lengths and 1/8-inch thick. Add vegetables to juice and toss. Allow to sit for 4 hours. Toss and serve.

LOBSTER PIZZA

Categories     dinner, appetizer, main course

Time 2h10m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package active dry yeast (1/4 ounce)
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup virgin olive oil, plus extra oil for greasing bowl and pan
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, and as needed during kneading
1/2 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound shredded Italian fontina cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 to 2 cups chopped fresh raw lobster, well drained and patted dry
8 strips crisp cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup seeded, drained and diced tomato, or use canned Italian plum tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough by combining the yeast and water in a large bowl, stirring often until the yeast dissolves. Add the sugar, salt and oil, and mix well. Stir in the flour and mix until dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board or countertop and knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 to 15 minutes. (Up to a half cup of flour can be added, until the dough is no longer sticky.) If using an electric mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough at medium speed for five minutes, slowly adding the extra flour as needed.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with a little olive oil and place the dough inside; turn the dough to coat it evenly. Cover and let rest until it doubles in size, about one hour.
  • Just before shaping the dough, grease a 15-inch pizza pan with a little oil.
  • Punch the dough down. Flatten it with the palms of your hands and gently shape into a circle, then roll it out into a 13-inch circle and place it into the pan. Make the rim of the dough slightly thicker than the rest, so that no ingredients run over the edge.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • To assemble the pizza, combine the cheeses and sprinkle half of them over the dough. Arrange the lobster evenly over the cheeses and sprinkle with the bacon, tomato, thyme and pepper. Finally, sprinkle with the remaining cheeses.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the crust and top of the pizza are golden brown. Wait 10 minutes before cutting into slices and serving.

LOBSTER PIZZA



LOBSTER PIZZA image

Categories     turkey     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pre-cooked 1 - 1 1/4 lb. lobster, shelled and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 pizza shell of your choice (Boboli, fresh dough, whatever)
olive oil
1 small can Hunt's tomato sauce
1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 an onion and 1/2 a red bell pepper, chopped
2 oz. plain goat cheese
about 1/2 c. Special Sauce (see below)
1/4 - 1/3 c. shredded Romano cheese
for Special Sauce:
1/4 c. chicken stock
1/3 c. good quality mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. crushed saffron (a mortar and pestle works fine)
2 T. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt

Steps:

  • Pre-crisp the pizza shell for 15 min. in a 425 oven. Make Special Sauce: Combine all ingredients and taste. (It will be REALLY lemony but that's desirable.) Add more of any of the ingredients as your palate demands. Set aside. Sauté red bell pepper and onion together in 2 T. olive oil until partially caramelized. Set aside. Build the pizza: Brush the shell with a tablespoon or two of olive oil, then drizzle tomato sauce over all. Bring sauce up to the very edge of the shell. Strew cilantro, then the onion-pepper mixture; then place the lobster chunks strategically over the shell. Now salt everything generously. Next, crumble the goat cheese as best you can over everything. Drizzle the Special Sauce over the pizza, then scatter the Romano over everything last. Place back into a 400 oven for another 15-20 minutes.

LOBSTER PIZZA (REDLOBSTER CLONE) RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Lobster Pizza (RedLobster Clone) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by ukiahgal67

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 flour tortilla, 10-inch shells (per pizza)
1 ounce butter, Land O' Lakes Roasted Garlic Butter Spread
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
4 ounces drained roma tomatoes, diced 3/8-inch (approx. 2-3 tomatoes)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, cut in 1/8-inch julienne strips
2 ounces lobster meat, cut in 1/2-inch - 3/4-inch chunks, drained
1/2 cup cheese (shredded Italian five-cheese blend)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450°F. 2. Lightly brush entire topside of tortilla with garlic butter (edge to edge). Sprinkle two tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter. 3. After draining the diced tomatoes, sprinkle evenly over Parmesan cheese. Julienne the basil; sprinkle evenly over the diced tomatoes. 4. Make sure lobster meat is cut into 1/2" - 3/4" chunks. Portion lobster meat, drain it unless it's fresh off the tail and then sprinkle it evenly over the tomatoes. 5. Sprinkle the Italian six-cheese blend evenly over the diced tomatoes. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Brush a pizza pan lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper and kosher salt. (This prep is essential!). 6. When oven is ready, place pizza on pan and cook approximately four to five minutes. Remove from pan and cut into eight wedges. Squeeze fresh lemon over pizza for extra flavor and serve.

Tips for a Perfect Lobster Pizza:

  • Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use fresh, live lobster for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose a Quality Pizza Dough: Whether making it from scratch or buying pre-made, ensure the dough is of high quality. For the perfect balance between chewiness and crispiness, try using a sourdough or whole wheat dough.
  • Cook the Lobster Properly: Boiling or steaming the lobster ensures it's cooked evenly and retains its natural sweetness. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the lobster tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Light Hand with the Cheese: While cheese can enhance the flavor of lobster pizza, using too much can overpower the delicate taste of the seafood. Opt for a mild, creamy cheese like mozzarella or brie, and use it sparingly.
  • Don't Skimp on the Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and tarragon can add a burst of flavor and color to your lobster pizza. Sprinkle them on top before baking for an aromatic touch.

Conclusion:

Lobster pizza is a luxurious and flavorful dish that combines the best of both worlds - succulent seafood and crispy, chewy pizza dough.
