BROILED LOBSTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Generously salt boiling water and return to a boil. Plunge lobsters headfirst into boiling water and cook for 5 minutes; immediately transfer to ice-water bath to cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix together butter, parsley, chives, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• With a large knife, cut cooled lobsters in half lengthwise. Place cut side up on a baking sheet and brush cut side with butter mixture.
• Transfer to broiler and broil until lobsters are golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

BROILED LOBSTER WITH LEMON SABAYON

Steps:

• For the lobsters: Bring a very large pot of water to a boil and have an ice bath standing by.
• Separate the claws from the lobster bodies and carefully stuff each lobster tail with a spoon handle, inserting at the fan end (this will help keep the lobster tails straight as they cook). Add the lobsters and claws to the boiling water and cook for about 6 minutes. Shock in ice water until cool to the touch. Remove the spoons.
• Split each lobster in half. Remove the tomalley from the lobster bodies and add to a medium heatproof bowl. Set aside. Clean out the shells of the bodies, as we will be filling them later. Set aside the lobsters on a sheet tray.
• Remove the claw meat from the shell and chop. Mix the chopped claw meat with the parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, celery, capers and zest in a bowl. Set aside.
• For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and cook until browned. Place the panko, parsley and lemon zest in a blender and slowly add the brown butter until smooth. Set aside.
• For the sabayon: Place the lemon juice, roe, yolks and a pinch of salt in the bowl with the tomalley and set over a small pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly and occasionally removing the bowl from the pot to prevent the mixture from getting too hot and curdling, until the mixture has thickened, about 4 minutes. (The whisk should leave a trail when pulled through the mixture.) Turn off the heat but leave the bowl in place to keep warm.
• For the couscous: Add the butter to a large, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and allow to brown. Add the Israeli couscous to the browned butter and stir to combine. Allow the couscous to toast, about 1 minute. Slowly start adding the lobster stock and cook until absorbed, continually adding lobster stock as needed (similar to risotto), until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the parsley, garlic, olive oil, walnuts, lemon zest and juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add the pesto to the couscous and stir to combine.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Filled the cleaned out lobster bodies with the lobster salad. Cover the lobster salad with the sabayon. Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the lobster tails. Broil the lobsters until the breadcrumbs and sabayon are browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the couscous onto a large, shallow serving platter. Top with the broiled lobsters.

STUFFED BROILED LOBSTER

Steps:

• Split lobsters in half and clean, take claws and crack the shell. Mix in a bowl all of the following: bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well then add olive oil until it has the consistency of sand. Place lobsters in a roasting pan, flesh side up. Spread some butter onto the flesh of the lobster. Take the bread mixture and place on top of lobster. When stuffed sprinkle with wine and then do the same with the chicken stock. Place in preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to14 minutes. Then place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly brown. Remove from the oven and serve.
• If you like you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken.

BROILED LOBSTER TAILS WITH CLARIFIED BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the broiler. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, carefully cut top side of lobster shells lengthwise. Pull apart shells slightly, and season meat with equal amounts melted butter with garlic, old bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Place cookie sheet or pan on rack second-up from the bottom of your oven. Broil lobster tails until lightly browned and lobster meat is opaque, about 25-30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and clarified butter for dunking. Clarified butter: Cut butter into 8-10 pieces. In saucepan or small frying pan, melt butter slowly over low heat. The water in the butter will evaporate, and the milk solids will sink to the bottom of the pan. Froth will rise to the top. Skim froth from surface. Carefully ladle or pour off clear melted butter into another container, leaving the milk solids at the bottom of the saucepan. You can also strain the butter through a double layer of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth. But I never have that on hand! For a nice presentation, open shell just enough to lift meat out carefully and gently lay lobster meat on top of shell. (All the way or leave very tail-end still attached.)

BROILED LOBSTER AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat broiler, with rack as close as possible to heat source. Cut ends off grapefruits. Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit. Slice between membranes to release sections, and transfer to a small bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into a separate bowl, and reserve (you should have about 1/4 cup juice).
• Using kitchen shears, cut along length of each lobster-tail shell. Using a knife, make a shallow cut in the meat, leaving tail intact. Rinse, and drain. Using your fingers, loosen meat from shells but do not remove.
• Arrange lobster tails and grapefruit segments on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Rub lobster meat with oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle reserved grapefruit juice on top.
• Broil until lobster tails are opaque and edges of grapefruits are browned, 5 to 6 minutes. (The shells will get dark, so watch the meat closely to ensure it doesn't overcook.) Let lobster meat cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove meat from shells, and discard shells. Cut lobster meat in half lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch diagonal slices.
• Toss lettuce, endive, and chives in a large serving bowl.
• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl.
• Add lobster meat and vinaigrette to lettuce mixture, and toss to coat. Gently fold in broiled grapefruit segments. Serve immediately.

BROILED LOBSTER TAIL WITH SAUCE ARMORICAINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil. Remove lobster head and rinse well. Remove claws, and legs. Remove meat from claws and cut up roughly. Break up lobster shell. Split lobster tail down the center, careful not to cut all the way through.
• In a large casserole dish or roasting pan, add 3 tablespoons clarified butter, the onion, scallion, garlic, and carrot. Saute over medium heat for a few minutes. Add parsley stalks, bay leaf, and thyme. Add the lobster head, claws, and legs. Saute until the shells turn bright red.
• Add the brandy and flambe. Douse the flames with the wine and fish stock. Add tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush a broiler rack with rest of clarified butter. Place lobster tail on rack, cut side down. Broil for 8 minutes. Turn, drizzle cut side with a little clarified butter and cook another 6 minutes. Remove the flesh from the shell and cut into chunks. Keep warm on a heated serving dish.
• Pass the sauce through a sieve into a small, clean pan. Add curry powder. Whisk together egg yolks and cream. Whisk into sauce, stirring quickly to avoid curdling. Pour sauce over lobster pieces to serve.

BROILED WHOLE LOBSTER

Steps:

• Lobster is usually split before broiling, but it is my belief that this results in dry lobster meat, tasteless and tough. Broil the lobster whole over coals, allowing about 15 to 20 minutes cooking time. Turn it to cook evenly. Split it after broiling, remove the intestines and stomach and serve with plenty of melted butter and lemon quarters.

Pull apart shells slightly. Gently reach under the meat and pull it up so it's laying on top of the shell. Season the meat with equal amounts butter, paprika, salt, and white pepper, or Old Bay Seasoning (my preferred seasoning) Broil lobster tails until lightly browned and lobster meat is opaque, about 5 to 10 minutes. NOTE: I found that the lobster tails took closer to 10 minutes. Halfway through the broiling process, I moved the rack up one more level, but watched it very closely so that it wouldn't burn or overcook. Garnish with lemon wedges, and additional butter, to serve.
