Florida Lobster And Sea Scallop Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and corn and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the lobster and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and whisk in the eggs and half-and-half, stirring until the mixture is smooth, like a thick pancake batter. Stir in the corn and lobster mixture. (The batter may be made up to an hour ahead and refrigerated.)
• For the sauce, place the garlic, saffron, sriracha, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until smooth.
• To make the fritters, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. For each fritter, drop 2 rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Don't crowd the skillet or they won't brown evenly. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding butter as necessary. Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onions, bell pepper and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk and egg until combined and smooth. Fold in the cooled vegetables, lobster meat and parsley.
• Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack. Add enough vegetable oil to come about 3 inches up the side of a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Using a 3-ounce cookie scoop, scoop the fritter batter and gently drop into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches until deeply golden brown, a few minutes per batch. Remove to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Sprinkle the butterflied lobster tails on both sides with some Cajun seasoning, then spread on both sides with some garlic butter. Spread the lobster flesh with the minced garlic; sprinkle more Cajun seasoning over the garlic layer. Top with more garlic butter.
• Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes (do not overcook).

Steps:

• To make consomme: Put all ingredients into a stockpot and bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Strain and season with salt and pepper, if necessary
• Take claws out of shells, try to keep whole. Take tails out of shells and cut in half. Blanch the ramps in boiling salted water for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute for 5 to 10 min. Add blanched ramps and cook until leeks and ramps caramelize to a golden brown. Sautee mushrooms with shallot and garlic in olive oil. Place a saute pan over high heat and add the remaining butter. Heat until butter turns golden brown, sear scallops on both sides until golden brown. If necessary, finish scallops in oven. Lay out 8 bowls and mound the leek and ramp mixture in the center. Next arrange the scallops, haricots verts and mushrooms. Lay the half tail down on the leeks and place the claw on top. Pour the hot consomme into the bowl and top with micro-greens and serve immediately.
