COLD LOBSTER WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour about 2 inches of water or sea water in the bottom of a large steamer. Add salt, unless sea water is used. Bring the water to a boil.
• Place the lobsters on the steamer rack and cover the pot. Cook over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the steamer and let cool.
• Split the lobsters in half lengthwise and crack the claws. Remove and discard the small sac near the eyes and the intestine through the middle of the tail.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients and salt to taste in a blender or food processor and pulse to blend to a fine texture for a few seconds. Serve the sauce with the lobsters.

LOBSTER IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove claws and legs from lobster and place in a deep heatproof dish. Remove the tail and slice into small pieces, then add them to the dish.
• Pour garlic and 1/4 cup oil over the lobster. Cover and place on a steaming rack, then steam, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 cup oil to 120 degrees F.

SPICY LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chile flakes, garlic, Fresno chile and onions and cook until the onions are tender and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until reduced slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and keep warm.
• Add the lobster tails to the sauce, cover and cook for about 5 minutes (they will not be cooked through at this point). Remove the lobster to a cutting board and carefully use a knife to split open the tails on the backside. Remove the meat and coarsely chop.
• Add the lobster meat back to the sauce along with a few tablespoons of the pasta water and the spaghetti. Toss to coat, adding more pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Toss in the parsley and mint. Drizzle with a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately.
