Lobster Schnitzel With Key Lime Buerre Blanc Recipes

FLORIDA KEYS LOBSTER AND YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER BARBECUE WITH FRESH MOJO, MANGO SALSA, AND GARLIC WHIPPED BONIATO

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Place both the lobsters and the marinated yellowtail snapper on the grill. Grill over medium heat until the lobsters are white and begin to separate from the shell and the snapper is opaque and no longer mushy (should be soft and slightly firm to the touch).
• After removing from the grill, divide each yellowtail snapper into 2 servings. Place 1 whole lobster and half a yellowtail snapper on each plate. Top the lobster with the Mango Salsa. Serve with grilled vegetables of your choice and Garlic Whipped Boniato.
• In a non-reactive dish, combine all ingredients and mix well. Marinate the scored yellowtail snappers in the Fresh Mojo in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve over grilled lobsters. Yield: 15 servings
• Bring a large pot of water to the boil and then salt the water.
• Use a paring knife to peel the boniato. Boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients to mixer and then mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and boniato is mashed.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot two-thirds full with water. Add 1/4 cup salt. Bring to a boil. Add lobsters, and cook until bright red and almost cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.

CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
• Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.
