Categories     Shellfish     Dinner

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each, or 12 ounces lightly cooked lobster meat
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely diced celery
1 cup finely diced leek
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons potato starch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup crème fraîche
2 baked 6-inch diameter flaky pastry lids (see recipe)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon or dill
1 tablespoon chives, cut very small
2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves, from interior stalks.

Steps:

  • 1. Place the lobsters in a large pot of rapidly boiling water over high heat. Cook for 6 minutes, then remove and cool in a large bowl of cold water. Take the meat from the claws, tail and knuckles. (Discard shells or use for lobster stock.) Cut meat into roughly 1/2-inch chunks and set aside. 2. Melt the butter in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and leek, season with salt and pepper, stir and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lobster meat, cayenne, thyme and lemon zest and stir together. 3. Pour in the half-and-half and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the potato starch mixture and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Check the seasoning and adjust, then stir in the crème fraîche. 4. Spoon the hot lobster stew into 2 deep bowls. Place a baked pastry lid on each. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley, tarragon, chives and celery leaves, and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 tablespoons butter
1 to 1 1/3 pounds cooked lobster meat, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 cup sherry wine, preferably medium-dry,(recommended: amontillado)
1/4 cup lobster stock, optional, but desirable
1 1/4 cups light cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a medium-size deep skillet or heavy saucepan, cook the onion in the butter over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cooked lobster meat and toss to coat with the butter. Pour in the sherry and bring to a boil. Add the lobster stock, if you have it, and boil until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the light cream and paprika. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring just to a boil. Immediately ladle into soup plates and garnish with the chives. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest lobster possible. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your stew.
  • Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate protein that can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leeks.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Lobster stew is a versatile dish that can be seasoned in many different ways. Some popular options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and paprika.
  • Serve the stew immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the lobster is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Lobster stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and effort. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your lobster stew turns out perfectly. So next time you are looking for a special meal to impress your friends and family, give lobster stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
