LOBSTER AND CRAB STUFFED GRILLED CHEESE
Steps:
- Heat the lobster and crab meat.
- Spread the bread slices evenly with mayonnaise and toast on a flattop grill. Repeat on reverse side.
- Add the American cheese, lobster, crab meat, cabbage, tomato, Lemon Beurre Blanc and shredded cheese to one of the slices and form a sandwich. Toast until the cheese is melted.
- To serve, cut the sandwich into four squares and place the exposed ends on top of fanned out cabbage. Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle Lava Sauce diagonally across the top of the sandwich. Sprinkle paprika across the entire plate. Serve with shoestring fries.
- Combine the shallots, white wine and lemon juice in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons.
- Add the cream to the reduction. Once the liquid bubbles, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, one cube at a time, whisking first on the heat and then off the heat. Continue whisking butter into the reduction until the mixture is fully emulsified and has reached a rich sauce consistency. Season with salt and white pepper. Store beurre blanc in a thermos until ready to serve.
- Mix the mayonnaise, sambal, chile sauce and lemon juice in a bowl until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
GRILLED CRAB AND CHEDDAR SANDWICH
Way better than a Tuna Melt! Sometimes I add a slice of tomato to this sandwich before cooking, which makes it even more delicious.

SHRIMP AND CRAB GRILLED SANDWICH
This is one of my favorite sandwiches, just a light sandwich. I serve this open faced or you can make this panini style, either or, with a big bowl of soup.

Steps:
- In a medium saute pan, add the butter and heat to medium heat. Saute the shrimp and garlic until done. It will take just a minute or two.
- Remove shrimp to cool.
- Now in a medium size bowl, add the shrimp with the cream cheese (room temp), brandy, Worcestershire, hot sauce, seasoning, and fresh dill and mix will. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours. (2 or more to get all the flavors mixed).
- Toast the bread (I like a little olive oil drizzled on it). Golden brown. Just takes 2 minutes per side in a 425F oven.
- Lightly toss the shrimp mix with the crab and scallions and spread on the warm bread.
- That just as an open face sandwich is just perfect to me. A nice bowl of soup and can't get much better.
- Or just just put on a hot griddle, grill or saute pan for just 2-3 minutes to heat up and press down and just as good. Either way, it is a great sandwich.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sandwich will taste. This is especially true for the crab meat and the cheese.
- Don't overcook the crab meat: Crab meat is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important part of any sandwich, so it's important to use a good quality bread that will hold up to the fillings.
- Butter the bread before grilling: This will help to keep the bread from sticking to the grill and will also add a little extra flavor.
- Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and gooey: This is the key to a perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
- Serve the sandwich immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best served hot and fresh out of the grill.
