4 cups lobster stock
1 tablespoon pureed chipotle
2 tablespoons ancho puree
1/4 cup honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup olive oil
16 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
16 large sea scallops
3 medium carrots, scraped and cut into 2-inch sticks
2 medium zucchini, cut into thin 2-inch sticks
2 1/2 cups canned posole, rinsed and well drained
40 small clams, such as manila or cockles
Cilantro sprigs
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups coarsely ground blue cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 canned chipotle
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sweat the onion for 5 minutes. Add the stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the pureed chipotles, ancho puree and honey and simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large saucepan over high heat, heat the olive oil and saute the shrimp and scallops for 3 minutes on one side. Turn them over and reduce the heat to medium, add the strained reserved broth, the carrots, zucchini, posole and clams. Simmer, covered for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any that do not open. Correct the seasoning.;
Blue Cornbread: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine the butter, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, eggs, and salt. Process 20 to 30 seconds, until just mixed. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Pour in the buttermilk and process for 20 seconds more. Pour into a buttered 12 by 12-inch pan, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until firm to the touch and golden. Cut into squares. Serve hot with red chile butter.
Red Chile Butter: In a food processor, combine the butter, chipotle, garlic, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Process until completely mixed. Spread the butter in a cylinder about 1-inch in diameter along the long side of a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll up the butter in the paper to make a log. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two 1 1/2-pound lobsters, bodies and tails split in half and gills removed (ask your fish monger to do this for you)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left intact)
Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
Tarragon-Cilantro Salsa Verde , Sambal-Orange Vinaigrette and Chorizo-Lemon Butter , for serving

Steps:

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Arrange your grill so about half is set to high heat and half is set to moderate. Soak 6 to 8 bamboo skewers for about 15 minutes.
Twist off the lobster claws and use the base of a knife handle or a mallet to crack them. Arrange the lobster on a baking sheet and brush the cut sides of the bodies with some of the melted butter; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Thread 3 to 4 shrimp on each of the skewers, brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add them to the baking sheet.
Grill the lobster claws over moderate heat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add the lobster bodies to the hot side of the grill cut side down; grill just until the meat just starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the lobster and transfer it to the cooler part of the grill with the claws. Generously brush the bodies with more butter and close the lid. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the bodies and claws to a platter.
Meanwhile, arrange the clams on the hot part of the grill, close the lid and grill until they pop open, 5 to 7 minutes. As each opens, transfer it to a bowl, trying to keep as much as the juice as possible.
Grill the shrimp over high heat until light brown grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill for 2 to 3 minutes longer, until cooked through. Transfer to the platter with the lobster and serve all of the seafood with the sauces.
