Lobster With Lime Butter Sauce Recipes

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH LIME BUTTER AND MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal grill, or if using a barbecue, heat it to the white-heat stage.
• In a small bowl, combine butter and lime zest. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to cover the fleshy side of the lobster with the lime butter.
• Place the lobster flesh side down onto the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, make the mango salsa.
• To serve, place one half of the lobster on each plate and serve with spoonfuls of the salsa on the side.
• In a medium bowl, combine mango, red onion, chile pepper, parsley, cilantro, spring onions, lime juice, and olive oil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.

LOBSTER WITH LIME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce
• Saute onion, green onion, thyme, wine and lime juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil about 5 minutes until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup. Strain and discard solids. Return wine mixture to sauce pan. Add cream and boil until reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and add butter a few cubes at a time, stirring between additions until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Lobster.
• Prepare barbecue - medium high heat. Mix lime juice oil and scotch bonnet pepper in a small bowl for marinade. Place lobster tails flesh side up in a baking pan. Drizzle with marinade and let stand for 15 minutes. Sprinkle tails with paprika and salt. Grill tails until cokked through (about 8 minutes), brushing frequently with butter and turning occasionally.
• Serve lobster with sauce.

LOBSTER WITH BASIL-LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Add enough water to a large pot to fill it a third of the way-enough to steam, but not fully submerge the lobster-and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, make the compound butter by placing butter, herbs, shallot, salt, a few grinds of pepper, and zest in bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, adding water 1 spoonful at a time if necessary to loosen and blend properly. Add lemon juice and process again to combine. Transfer seasoned butter to small container, cover, and hold at room temperature. (Note: Butter can be made in advance, refrigerated, and brought back to room temperature for serving.)
• When water has boiled, add sea salt, approximately one handful for each quart of water. Add whole lobster and steam for 5 minutes.
• Remove lobster from pot using a large slotted spoon or tongs. When cool enough to handle, break down the lobster in this order, placing each piece of meat gently on a plate: First, remove the claws. Then separate the tail from the head. Break the thick leg attached to the claw into two pieces at the joint, using the kitchen counter as leverage. Break the claw into two pieces, loosening at the joint. Split claw open with back of a chef's knife, and twisting at 90 degree angles. When the claw has cracked open, pull out the claw meat whole. Repeat with other claws.
• Lay each tail on its side and press down to crack; do not smash. Use thumbs to pull shell away, and gently pull the tail out whole. Trim away any ragged, small pieces of meat (and reserve for another use). Break down the elbows by gently cracking the shell with the back of a chef's knife in several places and peeling it away. Gently scrape the albumen from the meat.
• To finish, use the back of a spoon to smear some compound butter on the side of the plate. Slice lobster tail in half lengthwise, and arrange with other lobster pieces on the plate. Garnish meat with an additional dollop of butter, sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

GRILLED LOBSTER WITH LIME BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Lime Brown Butter Sauce: Add 6 tablespoons butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
• When it has melted and starts to bubble, add the shallots and zest.
• When the butter starts browning, remove from heat and add the lime juice.
• Season the brown butter with salt and pepper.
• Add chopped coriander if desired.
• Serve with Grilled Lobster.
• Grilled Lobster: Preheat grill to high heat. Brush grill until very clean.
• Bring at least 5 L (20 cups) water to a boil in a large pot. Cook lobster for about 4 minutes and remove from water immediately.
• Transfer to baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Note: cook 1 lobster at a time to keep water at a boil.
• When cool enough to handle, split lobsters in half lengthwise with a sharp heavy knife.
• Place lobster halves, shell side up on grill.
• Season the lobster with a little salt and pepper. Grill about 5 to 6 minutes, until lobster meat is just cooked through.
• Serve immediately with the Lime Butter Sauce.

LOBSTER WITH LEMON & HERB BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, warm the lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, swirling them into the lemon juice over a very low heat to melt them, adding a few more pieces until all the butter is used. Take the sauce off the heat, season to taste and keep warm.
• To make the salad, gently toss the rocket, avocado and lobster meat together. Dress with the lemon juice and olive oil, and toss again until everything is mixed and coated.
• To serve, stir the herbs through the sauce and pour into a ramekin or small bowl. Put the sauce on a plate and pile the large chunks of lobster meat on one side and the salad on the other. Bring the plate to the table to share - dip the tail meat, claws and crusty bread into the sauce.

DR. BBQ'S LOBSTER WITH CHILI-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium heat. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and blend in the lime juice, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Split the lobsters completely in half down the back with a chef's knife. Remove the tails and claws. Discard the rest. Crack the shells on the claws and inject or drizzle them each with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season the tails lightly with the rub. Grill the tails and claws for about 5 minutes on each side. Spoon some of the Chili-Lime Butter into the tail shells. Cook until the lobster is just barely done, another 4 to 5 minutes. This will vary depending on your grill. Serve the remaining Chili-Lime Butter for dipping.
