Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 1/3-lb) live lobsters
1 1/2 lb small hard-shelled clams such as littlenecks (16), well scrubbed
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb jumbo shrimp (8 to 12), with shells

Vegetable bulgur salad
1 3/4 cupstomato, caper, and olive vinaigrette
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted and salted

  • Plunge live lobsters headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook, covered, 4 minutes from time they enter water (lobsters will be only partially cooked) and transfer with tongs to a colander to drain and cool.
  • Twist tails off each lobster and break off claws at body, discarding body. Halve tails lengthwise (including shells) with kitchen shears and lightly crack claws. (Do not remove tail or claw meat from shells.)
  • Put clams in a disposable aluminum pie plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Snip shells of shrimp down center of backs with kitchen shears, from wide end down to last tail section, and devein.
  • Pat lobsters, shrimp, scallops, and fish dry, then brush with remaining 4 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Put lobster claws and tails (cut sides up), shrimp, and clams (in pie plate) on rack of grill, 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, and cover grill. Cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes for claws (liquid will bubble at open ends), 5 to 6 minutes for tails and shrimp (meat will be opaque), and 6 to 8 minutes for clams, or until opened (discard any unopened ones).
  • Transfer as cooked to a platter and keep warm, covered.

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 dashes of Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons capers
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your vinaigrette. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
  • Use a variety of olives and capers: Different types of olives and capers will add different flavors to your vinaigrette. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Make sure your olive oil is good quality: Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice for a vinaigrette. It has a more flavorful and robust flavor than regular olive oil.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and vinegar you add to your vinaigrette is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
  • Let your vinaigrette rest before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using.
