Lobster Cannelloni With Lemon Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY LEMON PASTA WITH LOBSTER

Steps:

• Begin by poaching the lobster tails. Add the wine and thyme to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add lobster tails and reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until they turn red and curl up into almost a ball. Remove from saucepan and let cool. Using kitchen shears or scissors, carefully cut down the belly of the lobster tail to remove the meat and chop into chunks. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta, and season with a couple big pinches of salt. Cook pasta until al dente. (Don't forget to scoop out your pasta water before you drain it! I like to keep a mug or heat-safe measuring cup next to the stove so that I don't forget.)
• Meanwhile, start the cream sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and season with a pinch of salt and a few turns of freshly cracked black pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and until you're just starting to see some caramelization. Add the cream, raise heat slightly and bring to a slow simmer. (Be sure to not heat the cream too high or bring it to a boil, or else the cream can separate!)
• Once cream is just bubbling, reduce heat and add the butter, lemon zest, parmesan, and salt. Stir until butter and parm are melted, and mixture is smooth and creamy. Start by adding 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and lemon juice and stir to combine. Add the chopped lobster into the sauce to heat through, for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Add the pasta and toss with tongs until the sauce coats the pasta. If the sauce seems like it's too thick and needs a little loosening up, add another splash of pasta water until the sauce coats the pasta to your liking.
• Portion into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves, lemon zest, freshly cracked black pepper, and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

LOBSTER BOUDAN WITH A FRESH LEMON AND TARRAGON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the lobster meat, shallots, cream and cognac. Season with salt, cayenne and pepper. Turn the mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in the rice and parsley. Season with salt, cayenne and black pepper. **To test the seasoning of the sausage, pan-fry a small piece of the filling for a couple of minutes on each side. Re-adjust the seasoning if needed. Either using a feeding tube or a funnel, stuff the sausage into the casings and make 3-inch links. Bring a large saucepan of salted water up to a boil. Poach the sausage for about 5 minutes, or until the sausage is firm to the touch and plump. Remove from the water and allow to cool. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Pan-fry the sausage for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. To serve, spoon the sauce in the center of each plate. Lay a crouton in the center of the sauce. Place a couple of links of sausage over each crouton. Garnish with parsley and butter sauce.
• In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the shallots and lemon juice. Season with salt and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture reduces by half. Add the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of pieces at a time. Season with the salt and cayenne. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire and chopped tarragon. Keep hot.
