Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 (2 lb) live lobsters
8 ounces shrimp or 8 ounces crabmeat
2/3 cup drawn butter
4 cups crushed Ritz crackers
salt and pepper, if needed

Steps:

Prepare the lobsters for broiling and set aside.
After the lobsters have been prepared for broiling, slowly melt 1/2 lb. of butter taking care not to let the butter boil. The clear portion of the melted butter is the drawn butter.
Slowly pour the drawn butter into a measuring cup, measuring off 2/3 cups.
In a food processor, grind enough Ritz Crackers to make about 4 cups, (about 1/2 a box).
Combine the crushed Ritz Crackers with the drawn butter a little at a time until the crackers are liberally and evenly coated.
Fill the bottom of the lobster bodies and the lobster tails with about 1/2 the amount of cracker mixture.
Next, divide the seafood into equal parts and fill the lobster body.
Cover the lobster meat with the remaining crumbs and place the lobster on a sheet pan along with the claws.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook the lobsters for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the tail meat becomes white and firm to the touch.
Serve at once with lemon wedges and drawn butter.

LOBSTER BISQUE

Lobster Bisque image

This is a rich, comforting soup to make if you have treated yourself to a whole steamed lobster (see page 254). You should have about 2 cups of lobster broth left in your pot after steaming, so be sure to save it. Also, check and scrape out any bits of lobster flesh still lodged in the shells, and use them as a garnish.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 medium-small onion, chopped
1/2 rib celery, chopped
1 medium-small new potato, peeled and cut into dice
2 or 3 fresh parsley stems
2 cups lobster broth (see headnote)
1/4 cup cooked rice*
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream Chopped parsley or chives

Steps:

Melt the butter in a small pot, and stir in the onion and celery. Cook gently for a few minutes, then add the potato, parsley stems, and lobster broth. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potato is tender. Remove a ladleful of the broth, and spin in a food processor or a blender with the rice until smooth. Stir this thickener into the soup, salt lightly (remembering that the lobster broth is salty), and add a few turns of the pepper mill. Remove the parsley stems, stir in any lobster bits along with the heavy cream, and heat through. Serve in a warm bowl, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley leaves and/or chives on top.

Tips:

To make the lobster stock, use lobster shells and heads. This will give the stock a rich, flavorful taste.
Be sure to sauté the vegetables in butter until they are soft and translucent. This will help to develop their flavor.
When adding the flour to the butter and vegetable mixture, whisk constantly to avoid lumps.
Gradually whisk the milk and cream into the stock mixture. Be sure to bring the mixture to a simmer, but do not boil it.
Season the bisque with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
For a richer flavor, add a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream to each serving.
Garnish the bisque with chopped chives or parsley.
