Remove the lobsters from the water and let cool. Crack the tails, knuckles and claws. Pick out the meat from the shells over a bowl to hold the juices. Reserve the tomalley. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and add the tomalley and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed snack crackers. Add enough reserved lobster juice so the mixture is thick like turkey stuffing. Divide lobster meat among 4 individual casserole dishes.

LOBSTER PIE
This is one of those dishes that my kids would never even taste because they didn't like the smell of the lobster. Now that they have tried it I have to share it! I usually just throw this together and never worry about measurements, but this is my best guess. Add or subtract to your liking.

Steps:
- Break up cooked lobster meat.
- I like to have mine broken rather small, again, you be the judge.
- You can't really mess this recipe up.
- Lay the meat in the bottom of a glass pan, the lobster should cover the bottom of the pan.
- I have also made this in those individual little thingies you make onion soup in, this is nice if you are having company.
- Pour some melted butter on top of the lobster.
- Just enough to coat it a little.
- At this point is when I usually start to pick at the lobster, You know: One for the pan, one for me!
- TRY not to do this, it really is better if you have a nice amount of lobster at the bottom of the dish!
- Pour some Half& Half over the meat next.
- The milk should come just about half way up the meat, not cover it.
- Don't worry if you think you have poured too much, it will be okay.
- I did this once and looked like an idiot at the sink trying to pour out some milk while keeping the lobster in!
- It will all work out in the end, promise!
- Put in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.
- While this is cooking you can make the crust.
- Super easy.
- Just crush up the crackers, right in a frying pan.
- Use the back of a big spoon, as fine as you like em.
- I don't make mine super fine, just kinda crushed.
- Then add whats left of the stick of butter.
- You can add more if you think it is too dry.
- Throw in the garlic and parsley.
- Cook over low heat just to let the butter melt.
- Stir it all together so the crackers get nice and coated.
- Spread this evenly over the lobster.
- Push it down a bit so that it can absorb the liquid in the pie.
- Set back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
- Let it sit on the counter for a couple minutes, just to set up and cool a bit.
- And then enjoy!
- That was sure a lot of typing for such an easy recipe, but it is worth it.
- One of my favorie things to make and to eat!

Steps:
- Divide the lobster meat into four shallow 8-ounce ramekins or gratin dishes, or place in a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add the cream and sherry, bring just to the boil, and cook, whisking, until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Season with the paprika and with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the lobster in the dishes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- For the topping, toss the cracker crumbs with the melted butter and paprika until well mixed. (The pies and topping can be made up to several hours ahead to this point and refrigerated.)
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the lobster mixture. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes for ramekins, 15 to 20 minutes for a large baking dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface, to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round pastry cutter or cookie cutter, about 3 inches in diameter, cut out 6 round disks.
- Brush each disk with the beaten egg, coating the pastry well. Arrange on a greased baking sheet and bake until the pastry rises and is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. When baked, remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Add the grapeseed oil to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent (not caramelized), then add the lobster. Saute until the lobster is cooked, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- At this point, add the carrots and celery and saute a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the flour and cook for about 5 minutes; this is the beginning of the roux. Slowly begin adding the chicken stock, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens. *Add the milk, slowly and stir until incorporated to the desired thickness.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for a further 10 to 12 minutes. Just before serving add the crabmeat and the peas and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. To serve, spoon into small bowls, sprinkle with chopped chives and top with a puff pastry disk.
- *Cook's Note: By adding the liquid slowly it will help you see the desired thickness of the sauce. You may not need all of the milk, as some flours absorb different amounts of liquid. Just be careful.

Removing the lobster from the shells prevents them from overcooking, and the shells help build an excellent sauce.

Steps:
- Place a rack in top-most position of oven; preheat to 400°F. Roast potatoes directly on rack until tender, 60-70 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a large saucepan over medium-high until melted and foaming. Add lobster shells and cook, stirring often, until bright red, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it starts to brown and stick to pot, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add yellow onion, garlic, celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, 1 carrot, and 4 cups water. Toss in a generous pinch of kosher salt and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer briskly until liquid is reduced by two-thirds, 50-60 minutes. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring glass; discard solids. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.)
- While the potatoes are cooling, warm 1 cup half-and-half and 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium saucepan over low heat just to melt butter.
- Split potatoes lengthwise and scoop flesh into half-and-half mixture. Smash with a potato masher until mixture is smooth and lump-free; season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in egg yolks, dill, and horseradish; cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a clean large saucepan over medium. Add pearl onions and remaining carrots and cook, stirring, until onions start to turn translucent, 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over; stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until flour leaves a film on bottom of pot, about 4 minutes. Stirring constantly, gradually stream in stock, then bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half; season sauce with kosher salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Arrange lobster pieces in a shallow 1 1/2-qt. baking dish and ladle sauce over. Dollop mashed potatoes on top and use the back of the spoon to spread across surface, creating decorative swirls. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake on a foil-lined baking sheet until lobster is cooked through and filling is bubbling around the edges, 20-25 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil pie just until topping is browned in spots, about 1 minute. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Pie can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and uncover before baking.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Heat remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking the roux, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes.
- Stir vegetable mixture, lobster stock, mushrooms, sherry wine, tarragon, parsley, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper into the roux. Cook and stir gently until thick, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in sherry vinegar. Add lobster meat and peas. Spoon roux mixture into a casserole dish or ramekins. Cover and place near or above the hot oven until ready to use.
- Unroll puff pastry. Cut sheets into crusts slightly larger than the pie plate. Press 1 layer onto the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven until light brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and fill with roux mixture. Place top crust over filling; press its edges onto the bottom crust to seal.
- Continue baking until top crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:
- How to prepare the crust:.
- In a large bowl add the flour, margarine, egg and baking soda. Mix with your hands until you get an even dough.
- Put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes (the secret for a flaky crust). After 30 minutes remove the dough from the fridge and place half of the dough over a wax sheet to flat the dough with a roller ( the crust should be very thin) after flattening the crust place on a baking pan 13x9 inches Without the baking sheet ( no need to grease the pan) Now do the same with the rest of the dough that you're going to use to cover the pie with.
- How to prepare the filling:.
- In a large sauce pan cook the shrimp with garlic, salt and pepper let it cook for about 3 minutes then add the fish sauce and soy sauce then add the lobster bisque and cream cheese.
- Cook until you get a creamy sauce that will be about 10 minutes.
- Let it cool down and then put the filling over the crust already on the baking pan.
- Cover the pie with the rest of the dough and brush with an egg yolk mixed with olive oil.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the crust turn golden brown.

LOBSTER POT PIE
Steps:
- Directions Saute the onions,celery, mushrooms and fennel with the butter in a large saute pan on medium heat until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the flour and cook on low heat for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly add the stock, Sherry, salt, and pepper and simmer for 5 more minutes. Add the heavy cream. Cut the lobster meat into medium-sized cubes. Place the lobster (and other seafood if using), frozen peas and parsley in a bowl (there is no need to defrost the vegetables). Pour the sauce over the mixture and check the seasonings. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut out dough circles at least 2" wider than ramekins. Avoid rolling out too thin, which will cause dough to droop into the ramekin. Fill ramekin with the lobster mixture, and top with the crust, allowing 1" overlap on all sides. Brush with the egg wash. Make 4 or 5 slashes in the top crust and bake for 30 min, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lobster-pot-pie-recipe.html#sni-reviews

Tips:
- Choose the right lobster: Select live lobsters that are heavy for their size and have firm shells. Avoid lobsters with missing claws or broken shells.
- Cook the lobster properly: To ensure the lobster is cooked evenly, steam or boil it for the recommended amount of time. Overcooked lobster will be tough and chewy.
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of the pie. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and seafood.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling should not be more than two-thirds of the way full, or it will overflow when baked.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: Keep an eye on the pie while it bakes to ensure the crust doesn't burn.
Conclusion:
Lobster pie is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. By following these tips, you can make a delicious lobster pie that will impress your friends and family.
