LOBSTER RECIPES - FOR COOKED LOBSTER OR CRAYFISH
Here are 6 easy recipes for cooked lobster or crayfish that make the most of this luxury seafood! When you buy pre-cooked lobster, it's best to keep it simple to preserve the flavour in the flesh (flavour is better with freshly cooked raw lobster - but much more expensive to buy!).TOP TIP: Keep it simple and don't re-cook lobster that's already cooked (risk of drying out, loss of flavour). Treat it like buckets of cooked whole prawns you peel yourself!Rundown of each recipe in recipe notes below.

Steps:
- If lobster was frozen, thaw lobster overnight in a bowl or tray (with sides to catch liquid). Drain well before use.
- Cut between head and tail: Insert a small knife at a 45 degree angle into the gap between the tail and head. Cut along the top and sides through to the middle - no need to do underneath.
- Separate head from tail: Twist the tail to separate it from the head. It will pull out meat from the head as well.
- Clean: Scrape or trim off any yellow of black residue on the end that came out of the head.
- Cut underside: Cut down both sides of the soft shell on the underside of the tail. Then peel it back like a can of sardines to reveal the lobster flesh.
- Remove flesh: Carefully remove the flesh - it should come off the shell cleanly.
- Remove poop vein - if you see a poop vein (black "string" down the back of the lobster tail meat), then carefully pull it out. If you stretch the meat out straight, you should be able to pull it out in one go. Otherwise, pick it out when you slice it. (Sometimes poop vein is thick, sometimes barely there!)
- Residual meat in head: There will be some residual meat in the head that can be used. The yellow "mustard" (called tomalley) has very intense lobstar flavour but is an acquired taste... I do not eat it!
- How to serve: Lobster tail meat can be served whole, sliced into thick or thin pieces or diced, depending on use. I do not recommend shredded as it loses juiciness.
- Make Sauce per the Dipping Sauces recipe.
- Serve alongside lobster for dipping. Either cut the lobster into bite size pieces, or serve whole for people to cut themselves. Plate it up individually or on a share platter.
- Make the Prawn Cocktail recipe but substitute prawn for lobster cut into small bite size pieces.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once foamy, add garlic and cook until light golden. Remove from stove, add lemon juice and parsley.
- Serving: Pour into serving bowl and serve alongside lobster. Garnish with parsley leaves and lemon wedges.
- Eating: Let people either dip in bite size pieces or drizzle over lobster, plated up indivudually or on a share style plate. Mop plate clean with crusty bread!
- Make the sauce per the Lemon Browned Butter Sauce recipe.
- Slice the lobster into bite size pieces. Pile onto plate or arrange on indivudual plates. Sprinkle with salt (necessary as browned butter is unsalted).
- Serving: Drizzle with some browned butter, then serve more on the side. Garnish with parsley leaves and lemon wedges.
- Eating: To eat, dip or drizzle lobster with more browned butter. Mop plate clean with crusty bread!
- Blitz ingredients in a Nutribullet or small food processor until it becomes a paste. It should be smooth but a bit of courseness for texture ie don't blend into a smoothie.
- Slice lobster into bite size pieces. Arrange on indvidual plates or share plate. Drizzle little dollops of salsa verde over lobster - don't go overboard, the flavour is quite strong!
- Garnish with lemon wedges & parlsey leaves, serve.
- Place lobster in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, lemon, chives, celery, green onions, salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat.
- Split then generously butter buns or rolls. Stuff generously! Makes 2 mini brioche buns or 3 round rolls.
PAR-COOKED LOBSTERS
Steps:
- Place lobsters in a container with tight-fitting lid. Cover with cold water, remove lobsters and measure water. Pour water into another large pot, and add 1 tablespoon vinegar for every quart of water. Boil.
- Return lobsters to lidded container. Pour the hot water over them, cover and steep 2 minutes for 1 1/2-pound lobsters, 3 minutes for 2-pound lobsters. Remove lobsters. Reserve water in container.
- Pull off lobster claws and knuckles, and return to hot water for 5 minutes. Twist off tails, and discard bodies.
- Snip through bottom sides of tail shells with shears. Remove meat. Discard shells. Cut tail meat in half lengthwise. Remove vein running through top of meat. Place meat on a platter lined with paper towel, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Remove claws from hot water. Twist off knuckles, and reserve. Hold claw, pull down on small pincer and pull it off. Use heavy shears to snip shell at knuckle end enough to open it; remove meat in one piece. Add to platter with tail meat.
- Use shears to snip through the knuckle shell, pry open and remove meat. Add to the platter.
LOBSTER CANTONESE WITH SAVORY SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut each lobster tail in half. Wash thoroughly. Drain.
- Cut tails into pieces 1 1/2 inches in length, leaving shells on.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the flour on the lobster.
- Mix garlic with black bean mixture in a bowl. Stir well.
- Heat oil to 375 F for deep-frying. Put in lobster pieces. Deep-fry until shells are red, about 30 to 40 seconds. The lobster is only par-cooked at this stage.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Reheat 1 tablespoon of the oil from deep-frying in a wok . Stir-fry the black bean mixture 30 seconds. Remove to a small bowl.
- Reheat 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok. Stir-fry the ginger and scallion until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add pork. Stir-fry on high heat until no longer pink.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sherry, soy sauce, black bean mixture, and stock. Bring to boil.
- Add lobster to meat mixture. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sherry. Cover. Cook 3 minutes.

- First up, prepare the curry butter. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, ginger, lime juice and zest, spices, cilantro, and chives, and a pinch of sea salt, and mix well. It’ll take a few minutes, depending on how softened the butter is. The compound butter should be completely combined, silky smooth, and easily workable. (compound butter freezes perfectly, and I always have several flavours in the freezer readily available for my next recipe. Feel free to double the butter recipe and store for your next lobster grilling day).
- Lobster time. Working in batches - one or two lobsters at a time - place a lobster on a cutting board and angle the tip of a chef’s knife right below where the claws meet and swifty cut down through the head (it’s scary, but you can do it!). Transfer directly to the stockpot and cook, lid on, for two minutes. After two minutes, transfer to the ice bath to cool. The lobsters will be ruby red at this point, but the flesh will still be translucent. Carry on par cooking the remaining lobsters.
- With a sharp knife and a steady hand, cut through the body and tail of each lobster, creating two halves. Remove the tomalley (green bits) from each lobster by placing under cold running water briefly until cleaned.

- Lobster Newburg With Rice. Rich and creamy lobster Newburg tastes great over rice, toast points, or even puff pastry shells. It dates all the way back to 1876 when a sea captain gave the recipe to the chef of Delmonico's restaurant in New York City, but you can enjoy this luscious dish at home using boiled lobster pieces.
- Classic Lobster Salad. Nothing beats fresh, citrusy lobster salad on a hot day after a long afternoon of boating—or really any time! It tastes wonderful over a bed of lettuce, on soft buns, garnished with chopped tomato and cucumber and perhaps some ripe avocado.
- Grilled Lobster Tails. Even novice shellfish fans can cook up a simple grilled lobster tail recipe guaranteed to please any crowd. These directions assume you have frozen or fresh tails; if you start with a live lobster, you’ll have to parboil it first.
- Lobster Macaroni Salad. This easy and versatile macaroni salad uses just mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a few simple herbs as well as delicious lobster meat.
- Gluten-Free Lobster Bisque. A silky lobster bisque makes an excellent beginning to an elegant meal or a lovely light lunch and you don't have to forego it if you avoid gluten.
- Basic Boiled Lobster. If you have never boiled a lobster at home before, here's a simple and easy recipe anyone can follow. Adding a piece of seaweed gives the meat a nice, briny flavor, but feel free to omit it if you can't get ahold of seaweed or don't like the sea-forward taste.
- Lobster Stew. For a seafood stew that comes out hearty enough to make a meal, look no further than this decadent lobster stew. With heavy cream, butter, and of course, lobster, it's perfect for a chilly day.
- Okra Stew With Prawns and Lobster Tails. For a tantalizing taste of Ghana, try this deeply flavorful okra stew chock full of squid, fish fillets, prawns, and lobster tails.
- Lobster Pie With Mushrooms. For a different take on the classic chicken pot pie, try this lobster version. It still has a sherry-studded sauce, mushrooms, and flaky puff pastry crust, but lobster levels it up a bit.
- Chilled Lobster With Mimosa Dressing. For a light appetizer to kick off a fancy dinner party, try these broiled lobster tails with orange and champagne vinegar mimosa dressing.
