HERBED LEMON PASTA WITH LOBSTER AND STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta until just al dente. Drain, reserving half a cup of pasta water. Set aside.
• Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the lobster meat and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Sprinkle the steak with the lemon pepper seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the plate. Without cleaning the skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then add the shallots, garlic, oregano, thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze with the wine, scraping the skillet to release all the flavor. Add the cream, lemon zest and pasta water, then bring to a boil and let thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the pasta and toss to coat.
• Transfer the pasta to a serving platter. Garnish with the parsley and drizzle over the lemon juice. Top with the lobster and steak bites.

CHEF JOHN'S LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter two gratin dishes.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook lobster tails in skillet until slightly golden and about halfway cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer tails to a plate to rest. When cool enough to handle, remove lobster meat from shells and chop meat. Reserve shells.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook and stir until a paste forms and raw flour taste cooks off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cold milk to flour mixture; whisk until completely incorporated. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low, and stir in paprika, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
• Stir Cheddar cheese and Gruyere cheese into milk mixture until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and stir Worcestershire sauce into cheese sauce.
• Bring a large pot of water with reserved lobster shells and a pinch of salt to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Remove lobster shells and set aside, or discard. Drain pasta.
• Stir macaroni into cheese sauce with thyme leaves. Divide macaroni mixture between the two prepared gratin dishes. Top macaroni with chopped lobster meat, poking meat down into the macaroni mixture with a fork.
• Stir bread crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and stir. Top each gratin dish with bread crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

GRANDPA SEAMONE'S 'LOBSTER CHOWDER'

Steps:

• Place potatoes and onion into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.
• While the potatoes are simmering, melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the cubed lobster, and cook until the edges begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes have been drained and returned to the saucepan, stir in the remaining butter, lobster, cream, milk, and sugar. Return to the heat, and cook until hot, stirring occasionally. Once hot, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
