Glazed Sugar Loaf Pineapple And Lobster Salad Garnished With Toasted Coconut And Cuban Style Citrus Grilled Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread and almonds on a baking sheet and bake, flipping the bread once, until it?s toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Mash the avocado with 2 tablespoons of the Cuban Style Orange Citrus Vinaigrette in a small bowl. Spread some of the avocado mixture onto each piece of toast. Quarter each piece of toast and arrange the pieces on 4 plates with the points facing out to make a square.
• Toss together the greens, toasted almonds, feta, radishes and remaining vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season with salt. Put a mound of salad in the center of each avocado toast square. Garnish each salad with 2 orange wedges.

Steps:

• Combine the egg, sugar, flour and pineapple juice in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick. Cool completely. Mix together the pineapple chunks, oranges, sliced banana and marshmallows in a medium bowl.
• Pour cooled dressing over fruit mixture and stir to coat evenly. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a pitcher, add all the ingredients and stir to combine. Garnish with lime wedge and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• In a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, chipotle peppers, 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, then paddle the mixture until the ingredients are distributed evenly.
• In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, tequila, olive oil, minced cilantro and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread a heaping tablespoon of the butter mixture onto each lobster split. Put the lobster butter-side up on the grill, along with the shrimp. Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the lobster until the butter is melted and the meat is just heated through. Remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop into 3/4-inch pieces.
• Grill the tortillas until warmed. Assemble the tacos by distributing the lobster and shrimp among the tortillas, then topping with the radishes, sliced avocado, Fresno chile slices, cilantro leaves and sour cream mixture. Serve with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• The starch must be dry before you begin this recipe. I spread my potato starch onto parchment paper lined baking sheets and placed them in a slightly warm oven for a few hours.
• In the interim, determine or make your candy mold. You could use a Champagne cork that is cut in half. Insert a wooden dowel into the cork. I used another method. I filled a regular polycarbonate candy mold with chocolate. When the chocolate cooled, I unmolded the pieces and glued them to a flat piece of wood measuring 1-inch by 15 inches. I did it that way so I could make more indentations faster.
• Place the potato starch in a container that will allow you to have a layer of starch at least 1 1/2-inches deep. Carefully press the mold into the potato starch to make the indentation. Carefully remove the mold. Repeat as many times as your container will allow.
• Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and boil to 119 degrees C (246 degrees F). When it reaches that temperature, remove it from heat and add the alcohol. Pour the mix into the funnel tool and carefully fill the impression with the candy mixture. Carefully cover the filled impressions with more potato starch. Allow to set at warm room temperature for about 10 hours. If the candies do not have a strong setting, leave them for an additional 4 to 6 hours. Be very careful that the container is not moved or the candy mixture will not set. Be mindful of excess vibrations as well. After about 10 hours, delicately remove the candies from the potato starch. At this stage, they can be served or coated with chocolate. Serve.
• Jacques' tips: The candies can also be air-brushed with color.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the shrimp, lobster, mascarpone cheese, egg, ginger, water chestnuts, and cilantro. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Consomme: Place the broth, water and dashi in a pot bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Dumplings: Lay out the wrappers on a work surface and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each. Wet the edges of each wrapper with a little bit of water, gather the edges together, and twist to close. Place the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and cook the dumplings for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with the consomme. Garnish with bell peppers and cilantro.

Steps:

• Use side burner or preheat grill. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and let boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl and exept chicken wings let cool. Add chicken wings to the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. Grill over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with celery and carrot sticks.

Steps:

• Plunge lobsters headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water . Loosely cover pot and cook lobsters over moderately high heat 9 minutes from the time they enter water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
• Remove meat from claws, joints, and tails. Discard (or save for another use) tomalley, any roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• While lobsters are cooling, cut pulp in 1 or 2 large pieces out of each pineapple half with grapefruit knife, then discard core and cut pulp into 1/2-inch pieces. Scrape juice and any remaining pulp from pineapple shells with a spoon (to form 1/4-inch-thick shells) into a fine sieve set over a bowl and drain until you have 2 to 3 tablespoons juice, about 2 minutes. Discard solids.
• Cook oil and garlic in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then discard garlic. Add garlic oil to pineapple juice along with lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Add shallot, bell pepper, pineapple pieces, chile, and herbs. Toss lobster with pineapple mixture and serve mounded in pineapple shells.

Steps:

• Peel pineapple; cut into six wedges. Cut wedges lengthwise to remove core; cut each widthwise into four pieces. Pour butter into a 2-qt. baking dish; top with pineapple. Combine the brown sugar, honey, pie spice and extract; spoon over pineapple., Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon cooking juices over the top. Serve warm with sorbet.
