1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup warm water
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 ounces clarified butter
2 cups white wine
3 tablespoons commercial lobster base
2 cups water
4 cups heavy cream

4 ounces roux
White pepper
2 ounces clarified butter

Then, add the lobster base and water and let simmer for about 5 minutes longer. Strain the mixture and put back in saucepot. Add the heavy cream and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the champagne and cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate the roux and bring back to a simmer to thicken. Season with white pepper, to taste.
  • Filling: In a medium saute pan, add the clarified butter. Add the seafood and let the shrimp cook through, about 3 minutes. Add the champagne and reduce for 1 minute. Add the lobster champagne sauce and let cook for another 2 minutes. Fold in the diced tomatoes and scallions and season with salt and pepper. Mixture is ready to serve.
  • Take 2 crepes and fill with some of the mixture and roll the crepes. Place in a shallow gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Add the remaining sauce and seafood on top of the crepes.

LOBSTER WITH CHAMPAGNE DIPPING SAUCE



Lobster with Champagne Dipping Sauce image

Get out the bibs, lobster crackers and picks! If you've never prepared live lobster, this is a straightforward approach to a decadent meal. I make this once a year, on January 1, my wedding anniversary. My husband and I had a very low-key wedding (I was wearing jeans, an old sweater and my house slippers!), at 12:30 AM on January 1, 2001 (01-01-01). To celebrate that humble beginning, I make a totally decadent meal for us every New Year's Day. This one is our favorite and it's fun for us to do together. We halve the recipe and drink the leftover champagne. You'll need a really big pot for this, I use a big stock pot. Make sure plenty of napkins are on hand and that you have lobster shell crackers and picks.

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 vanilla bean (about 4 inches long)
1 sprig fresh thyme, small
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 cup Brut champagne
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 lobster tails (uncooked), about 7 ounce each
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon snipped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Cut the vanilla bean in half and split lengthwise. Place in a small saucepan with the thyme, shallots, and champagne. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. The reduction will be a clear golden color. Remove from the heat and strain the reduction through a sieve. Reserve the vanilla bean. Rinse the saucepan and return the reduction to the pan. Using a sharp paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the reduction. Bring the reduction to a simmer and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to fully incorporate, until glistening and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Remove from the heat and set aside until the lobsters are ready. Keep warm. Place the tails, shell-side down, on a cutting board. Split the tails lengthwise to expose the meat. In a small bowl mash the butter with the lemon juice, chives, and salt using the back of a fork. Spread the butter over the lobster meat and between the shell and the meat. Grill the tails, shell side down, over Direct Medium heat, until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the shells and serve immediately with the warm sauce.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co. All rights reserved.

Tips:

  • Choose the best lobster: Select live lobsters that are heavy for their size, with a hard shell and no missing claws.
  • Cook the lobster properly: To achieve perfect doneness, steam or boil the lobster for 8-10 minutes per pound, or until the meat is opaque and firm.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of the dish, so opt for fresh herbs, vegetables, and seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the lobster, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent even cooking and may cause the lobster to steam instead of sear.
  • Reduce the champagne sauce: Simmer the champagne sauce until it reduces by half, concentrating the flavors and creating a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Champagne lobster is best served immediately, while the lobster is still hot and the sauce is warm.
