Lobster Tail Francaise Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle with kitchen shears. Then, using a knife, cut all the way through the tails to split into 2 pieces. Place them flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix together the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
• Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter on the flesh of each lobster tail half. Broil until the shells turn a bright orange, the flesh is opaque and cooked through and the tails begin to curl, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the tails to a serving platter and top each half with another teaspoon of the compound butter (save the remainder for another use).

Steps:

• Remove lobster tails from shell and rinse under cold water.
• Butterfly each tail by slicing tail down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through.
• Spread the tail, and flatten slightly with palm of hand.
• Mix eggs, parlsey and black pepper in shallow bowl.
• Spread flour on piece of waxed paper.
• Melt butter in large heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) with 2 tbls olive oil over low heat.
• When butter mixture is hot, lightly flour each side of the tails, then coat each side with egg mixture and place immediately in pan.
• Saute lobster approximately 2 minutes each side until lightly brown.
• Remove lobster to platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice to pan using wire whisk.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue whisking until mixture is reduced by about 1/3.
• Add scallions, shallots, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer approximately 5 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch with water to dissolve.
• Slowly add to sauce, whisking constantly until sauce coats back of spoon.
• Place lobster into sauce and heat for a minute or two.
• Place cooked angel hair pasta in individual pasta bowls.
• Spoon lobster tail and sauce over pasta.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat frying pan and add 1/2 cup of water. Rinse the lobster. Open the lobster tail in butterfly form and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the lobster tail in the frying pan. Cover. Steam cook for 8 minutes. Serve with clarified hot butter.

Steps:

• Fill a very large (18- to 20-quart) stockpot 3/4 full with water, add 2 tablespoons of salt, cover and bring to a full rolling boil. Immerse the lobsters in the water and cook for 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the underside of a tail registers 140 degrees F. (Don't worry if the water doesn't come back to a boil.) Remove the lobsters with tongs and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the lobster meat from the shell, including the claws.

Steps:

• Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
• Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
• Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.
