Lobster Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 lobster
2 teaspoons melted butter
2/3 cup light cream
1/2 slice bacon (chopped finely)
1 stalk spinach
1 clove garlic (chopped finely)
2 slices cheese (use your favorite cheese)
Salt to taste
A pinch of sugar
Some flour
Dried parsley flakes

Method:

Clean the lobster and cut it into halves (use only half the lobster). Boil the spinach in hot water, drain the water dry and chop the spinach. Set aside.

Heat up a wok/skillet and add in the melted butter. Saute the garlic and bacon until aromatic, then add in the spinach and cream and bring to boil. Add salt and a pinch of sugar, and a little flour to thicken the sauce. Dish out.

Preheat the oven to 375 degree. Spread the mixture onto the body of the lobster and its head evenly. Break the cheese into small pieces and top the lobster with them. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown. Sprinkle dried parsley flakes on the lobster and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Ingredients:

* 4 (1 1/4-pound) lobsters, cooked
* 2 cups crushed reduced-fat round buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 3 tablespoons fresh Parmesan cheese
* 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 4 lemon wedges

Preperation:

Preheat broiler.

Remove the meat from the cooked lobster tail and claws; chop meat. Set lobster tail shells aside. Combine the lobster, crackers, and the next 5 ingredients (crackers through Worcestershire sauce) in a large bowl. Divide the lobster mixture evenly among tail shells. Broil the stuffed lobster tails 8 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

Note: You can also use 6 frozen lobster tails, cooked, for this recipe, reserving just 4 of the tails to stuff.

Lobster blood is a clear fluid. When the animal is boiled, the blood turns to an opaque whitish gel. It has no discernible flavor and is perfectly safe to eat.

1 in every 5,000 North Atlantic lobsters are born blue.

The sound a lobster makes while being boiled is simply the sound of a lobster's exoskeleton and musculature tightening up and releasing gases under the heat of the boiling water.
