LOBSTER WITH CHAMPAGNE DIPPING SAUCE



Lobster with Champagne Dipping Sauce image

Get out the bibs, lobster crackers and picks! If you've never prepared live lobster, this is a straightforward approach to a decadent meal. I make this once a year, on January 1, my wedding anniversary. My husband and I had a very low-key wedding (I was wearing jeans, an old sweater and my house slippers!), at 12:30 AM on January 1, 2001 (01-01-01). To celebrate that humble beginning, I make a totally decadent meal for us every New Year's Day. This one is our favorite and it's fun for us to do together. We halve the recipe and drink the leftover champagne. You'll need a really big pot for this, I use a big stock pot. Make sure plenty of napkins are on hand and that you have lobster shell crackers and picks.

LOBSTER TAILS WITH CHAMPAGNE VANILLA SAUCE



Lobster Tails With Champagne Vanilla Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 vanilla bean (about 4 inches long)
1 sprig fresh thyme, small
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 cup Brut champagne
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 lobster tails (uncooked), about 7 ounce each
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon snipped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Cut the vanilla bean in half and split lengthwise. Place in a small saucepan with the thyme, shallots, and champagne. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. The reduction will be a clear golden color. Remove from the heat and strain the reduction through a sieve. Reserve the vanilla bean. Rinse the saucepan and return the reduction to the pan. Using a sharp paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the reduction. Bring the reduction to a simmer and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to fully incorporate, until glistening and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Remove from the heat and set aside until the lobsters are ready. Keep warm. Place the tails, shell-side down, on a cutting board. Split the tails lengthwise to expose the meat. In a small bowl mash the butter with the lemon juice, chives, and salt using the back of a fork. Spread the butter over the lobster meat and between the shell and the meat. Grill the tails, shell side down, over Direct Medium heat, until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the shells and serve immediately with the warm sauce.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co. All rights reserved.

Tips:

  • To ensure your lobster tails are perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. They should reach an internal temperature of 140-145°F (60-63°C) for a tender and juicy result.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can judge the doneness of your lobster tails by their color. The meat should be opaque and pearly white when cooked through.
  • Don't overcook your lobster tails, as this will make them tough and chewy. If you're unsure whether they're done, it's better to err on the side of caution and cook them for a shorter amount of time.
  • To prevent the champagne from evaporating too quickly, cover the pan with a lid while cooking. This will help to create a steamy environment that will cook the lobster tails evenly.
  • If you want to add extra flavor to your lobster tails, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking. This will help to infuse the lobster meat with delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

Lobster tails in champagne is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and always impresses your guests. The combination of tender lobster meat, rich champagne sauce, and fresh herbs is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
