LOBSTER-STUFFED POTATOES

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium Yukon gold potatoes (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), scrubbed and dried
Two 1 1/2-pound lobsters
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 cup (about 3 3/4 ounces) shredded Gruyere

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Poke holes in the potatoes, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the lobsters in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes-this will put the lobsters to sleep and calm them down so they're not so acrobatic when you try to finish them off. Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater, then bring to a boil. Fill a very large bowl with ice and water.
  • Working with one lobster at a time, in one decisive motion, plunge a chef's knife into and all the way through the lobster's head so the head is halved vertically-this kills it quickly. Break down the lobster by removing the claws and the tail. Discard the lobster carcasses or save them to make lobster stock later.
  • Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, then add the claws and cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the lobster from the boiling water and set aside. Once cool, crack the claws and tails and remove the meat. Quarter the tails lengthwise and chop. Cut the claw meat in half and chop it into pieces the same size as the tail meat.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly; leave the oven on. Carefully, without breaking the skin, slice the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Reserve for later.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until the milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn hazelnut brown and the butter starts to smell nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the scooped potato flesh, salt and pepper to the saucepan and stir to combine. Add the chopped lobster, creme fraiche and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Spoon the potato-lobster mixture into the potato shells and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or on a quarter-sheet tray. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere and bake until the potatoes are hot and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with the scallions, and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: The quality of your seafood is crucial to the success of this dish. Look for shrimp and lobster that are firm and have a briny smell.
  • Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the seafood from sticking and will give it a nice sear.
  • Don't Crowd the Skillet: When searing the seafood, don't crowd the skillet. This will prevent the seafood from cooking evenly.
  • Make the Hash Ahead of Time: The potato-leek-and-gooseberry hash can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. This will save you time on the day of your party.

Conclusion:

This zipper-back shrimp and Nova Scotia lobster with potato-leek-and-gooseberry hash is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
