Steps:

• Begin by making the arepas. Place the corn in the blender and pulse until mostly pureed. In a mixing bowl, combine the pureed corn with the rest of the ingredients and mix until a semi-dry dough is formed. Form the dough into rounds and cook on a flat grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• To prepare the black beans, fry the bacon in a saucepan until all the fat is rendered. Add all of the vegetables and fry until soft. Add the black beans and chicken stock and simmer until beans are soft, approximately 2 hours. Once the beans have cooked, place the mixture in a blender, puree, and strain. Return the beans to the saucepan and cook the puree until it thickens.
• To make the salsa, heat a large skillet with the olive oil. Saute the bacon, chile, and garlic for 1 minute. Add the butter, sugar, celery, onions, and peppers, and cook for 15 minutes until everything is caramelized. Add the vinegar and all the herbs and spices, and the chicken stock and cook for 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and allow to cook for another 15 minutes. Check the sauce for seasonings and set aside once cooked.
• For the adobo, toast the chiles on a flat grill and then soak them in hot water for 20 minutes. Place the chiles in a blender with 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquid and puree. Add the garlic, onion, peppercorns, marjoram, oregano, thyme, and cumin and blend again and set aside. Puree the roasted tomatoes and reserve. Using a saute pan, melt the butter and fry the pureed chile mixture for 4 minutes. Add the tomato puree and cook for another 4 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar and simmer for 25 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• To assemble dish, saute the arepas until golden brown. Coat the lobster tails with the adobo and grill until done, approximately 5 minutes. Heat the refried beans, place the beans between 2 arepas, and then place it in the center of a plate. Surround the arepas with the hot Creole salsa, and place the lobster tail on top of the bean filled arepas. Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and fried cilantro.

Steps:

• PREPARATION.
• The shrimp- Remove the shells from the shrimp and devein by cutting a slit along the back of the shrimp (removing the vein), butterfly, place the shrimp in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then rinse under cold water, add another 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then set aside for 15 or more minutes.
• The salted black beans- Rinse the beans briefly, place in a small bowl, add minced garlic, graded ginger, 1-2 tablespoons rice wine (2 cover) and then set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
• The ground pork- In a bowl add the ground pork, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, mix and then set aside.
• The stock- In a bowl add the stock, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, stir and then set aside.
• The thickening agent- In a small bowl add the tapioca powder (or cornstarch) with water, stir and then set aside.
• The eggs- In a small bowl add the eggs, with the water, mix lightly and then set aside.
• The scallions- Wash and clean the scallions and cut at an angle into 1/2 inch pieces, set aside.
• The sesame oil- In a small frying pan heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil, keep warm and then set aside in the frying pan (to be heated later and used after the eggs are added), as an option see the notes below.
• COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
• In a Teflon pan (or wok) add 1 tablespoons peanut oil and when medium hot add the shrimp, stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, do not overcook, remove and set aside.
• Next mash the salted black beans mixture a little, then add 1 tablespoons of oil to a clean Teflon pan (or wok) and when medium hot add the salted black bean mixture, then stir-fry until it starts to release its aroma.
• Next add the pork mixture and stir-fry until it loses its pink coloring.
• Next add the stock and stir-fry until boiling.
• Next re-stir the tapioca powder (or cornstarch), add to the pan and stir-fry to thicken the sauce.
• Next add the pre-cooked shrimp and cook for about a minute.
• While the shrimp is re-heating, heat the sesame oil until almost smoking and then set aside (in preparation to add on top of the eggs in order to set).
• Next add the egg mixture on top of the sauce.
• Then pour the heated sesame oil on top of the egg mixture to set/cook briefly (eggs should remain somewhat runny and do not stir the eggs into the sauce).
• Then add the scallions.
• Finally ladle the shrimp and sauce into a dish and try to retain some of the "set" egg on top for appearance. Serve and enjoy.
• NOTES:.
• Instead of using heated sesame oil, do not heat the oil (step # 9, 17) but add to the sauce in step #19 and stir once. Then add the eggs on top and use a cover to let steam "set" cook the eggs. However, this will increase the cooking time and you might overcook the shrimp.
• Serve with white rice on the side.

Steps:

• Rinse the lobster, and hold it belly up. At the bottom of the tail, there is a small opening, stick a long skewer in it to drain any urine left in its' body, then crack the tail off, chop the tail into small pieces, and crack the claws in half as well. If you know how to eat the body of the lobster, cut it up and throw it on the pile too.
• Heat half of the peanut oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, and fry for about 1 minute. Throw in the lobster pieces, and fry until they are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lobster and garlic mixture to a dish and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the minced ginger and pork, and fry until the pork is no longer pink. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and brown sugar until well blended. Add the sherry mixture to the pan, and stir-fry for a minute or two, until the sauce becomes thick and somewhat clear.
• Stir in the green onions, and turn the heat off. Drizzle the beaten eggs over the mixture in the pan, and stir until the eggs are in little pieces. Finally, return the lobster to the pan, and cook over low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, and let stand, covered, for a few minutes before serving. Eat with steamed rice and enjoy, cause you worked hard!
