Creamy Lobster Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, microwave-safe plastic bag, arrange lobsters head to tail. Twist the top of the bag shut. Cook in a 650- to 700-watt oven at 100 percent power for 8 minutes. Carefully remove from oven. Drain any liquid that has collected in the bag into a bowl. Remove lobsters from bag and allow to cool while proceeding with the recipe.
• In a 2-quart souffle dish, melt butter, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir in onion and cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Whisk in Worcestershire, mustard and Tabasco. Set aside.
• Holding the lobster over the bowl, separate the head from the body. Using a spoon, scrape out tomalley and roe into the bowl, being careful to avoid the brain sac. Holding the feelers, squeeze the head to extract juices. Remove meat from tail and claws. Dice the tails. Reserve claws whole for garnishing.
• Add cream and chicken broth to onion/butter mixture. Heat, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 4 minutes. Whisk tomalley, roe and reserved juices into cream mixture. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 4 minutes. Add tarragon and reserved lobster tail meat and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from oven. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss with hot fettucine. Garnish with reserved claws. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a hot pan, cook the lobster shells and peppercorns in olive oil until well browned. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until lightly caramelized.
• Add the tomato paste and cook a few more minutes, being careful not to add any more color to the tomato paste. Deglaze with brandy and reduce by 1/2.
• Add paprika, cayenne, roux, star anise, lobster stock, bouquet garni, and fennel, and whisk to incorporate the roux. Simmer covered for 1 hour.
• Strain the sauce, discarding the vegetables. Place lobster shells in a food processor and grind. Return ground shells to the sauce and cook until reduced to sauce consistency. Finish with cold butter whisked into sauce. When butter is incorporated, strain sauce again.
• Serve with roasted fish of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and cream; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and toss to coat in sauce. Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Stir in the arugula, basil, tarragon, peas and lobster meat; simmer until everything is heated through, 1 minute. Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.

Steps:

• Bring very large pot of salted water to boil. Add lobsters. Boil until cooked through, about 12 minutes (or cook in batches, if necessary). Using tongs, transfer lobsters to large rimmed baking sheet. Remove meat from tail and claws; place meat in medium bowl. Remove any roe from bodies and place in small bowl. Cover and chill meat and roe (if any). Remove tomalley (green matter) from bodies and discard. Reserve bodies and shells.
• Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add reserved lobster bodies and shells. Sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add tomato paste; stir 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, wine, vinegar, garlic, tarragon, thyme, and parsley. Add cream; boil 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer just until lobster flavor infuses cream, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Strain sauce into large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard contents of strainer. (Lobster and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Transfer sauce to heavy large saucepan. Cut lobster meat into bite-size pieces; coarsely crumble roe, if using. Add to sauce. Gently rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain; return pasta to pot. Add sauce; toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large shallow bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat; cook and stir lobster into melted butter until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk cornstarch and about 1 tablespoon cream together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour remaining cream into lobster, stir in cornstarch mixture; cook and stir until cream sauce comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Toast bread and spread with about 2 tablespoons butter. For each serving, pour some creamed lobster over one buttered piece of toast, top with another piece of toast, and pour more creamed lobster over the top.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the lobster, onion, celery, carrot, thyme, parsley, peppercorns, seasoned salt, bay leaf, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat to soften the vegetables, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and tomato paste; cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in sherry and cook for a minute or two to cook off the alcohol.
• Pour in the heavy cream, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, simmer until the sauce has thickened, and will coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and discard the solids. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cube chilled lobster lobster into quarter inch by quarter inch pieces. Melt 1/2 stick of butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced shallot, garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. simmer for another 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium. Add paprika; stir to blend. Add remaining 1/2 stick butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until melted and set aside. Combine wine, chopped shallot, and capers in saucepan. Boil over high heat until almost all liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks, lemon juice, and water in medium bowl. Place bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water. Whisk constantly until mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat. Whisk in lobster butter in 6 additions. Whisk in shallot mixture and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Keep lobster sauce over warm water.
• Preheat grill/broiler. Rub steaks with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Broil until cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (5 minutes per side if boneless). Serve with lobster sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the ground pork with the soy sauce, pepper and cornstarch. Marinate the pork for 15 minutes.
• Rinse the black beans, letting them sit in the water for a few minutes to soften. Drain. Use a cleaver or knife to finely chop the beans. Peel and mince the garlic clove. Mash the garlic together with the soaked black beans. Wash the green onion and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.
• Lightly beat the eggs with the salt.
• Heat the wok over medium high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoon oil, swirling to coat the sides. When oil is ready, add 1/2 of the mashed black beans and garlic mixture. Stir-fry until aromatic. Add the ground pork. Stir-fry until it changes color. Remove and clean out the wok.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil. When the oil is hot, add the second half of the bean and garlic mixture. Stir-fry until aromatic. Add the sauce. Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick re-stir and add to the sauce, stirring quickly to thicken. Add the ground pork back into the pan. Stir in the green onion.
• Stir in the beaten eggs. Remove the sauce from the heat, pour over shrimp or lobster and serve.
