POOR MAN'S MOCK LOBSTER
Try this recipe for chicken that is marinated and grilled, dipped in butter and tastes amazingly like lobster. My Dad actually got this recipe from a friend of his, and it's too wonderful to keep it a secret! Serve with clarified butter for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine everything but the bacon. Mix, using your hands, until well blended. In a roasting pan or iron skillet, shape the mixture into a lobster. With the ketchup, either rub a thin coating all over the lobster or make lines for visual appeal. Wrap the bacon slices across the tail or at joints, so everyone gets a little. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, covering the "claws" with foil after 40 minutes so that they don't dry out.

KOWLOON'S LOBSTER SAUCE (FROM KOWLOON'S OF NEW ENGLAND MA)
I love lobster sauce and this was published in the Boston Herald as an answer to a request. by the way, it has no lobster in it in case you never had it before! I'm revising the quantities because I think they made a mistake on the amount of water. I used more black bean sauce and garlic, subbed the molasses with sugar because I didn't have any molasses and left out the egg. I like my way better!

Tips:
- Use the right mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are the go-to mushroom for a mock lobster sauce, as they have a meaty texture that closely resembles lobster.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. Overcooked mushrooms will become tough and chewy, so be sure to cook them just until they are softened.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will add a subtle flavor to the sauce.
- Don't be afraid to add a little spice. A pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika can add a bit of heat to the sauce, which can help to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Mock lobster sauce is a great way to add a touch of luxury to a simple pasta dish.
Conclusion:
Mock lobster sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to add a touch of luxury to a variety of dishes. It is a great way to enjoy the flavor of lobster without the high price tag. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a mock lobster sauce that is just as good as the real thing.
