CREAMY LOBSTER AND CORN PAPPARDELLE



Creamy Lobster and Corn Pappardelle image

The tender chunks of lobster paired with a rich tarragon and chive cream sauce and sweet corn may make this pasta dish decadent, but those ingredients don't have to break the bank. I often take advantage of when lobster tails are on sale at my grocery store, and I stock up then to make this pasta.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Two 1 1/2-pound Maine lobsters
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pappardelle pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups fresh corn or frozen corn, thawed
1 large shallot, minced (2 tablespoons)
1 large stalk celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish, optional
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Place the lobster, head first, into the water. Boil until the lobster is bright red, about 12 minutes. Plunge the lobster into the ice water to stop cooking. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tail. Coarsely chop into bite-size pieces, and set aside.
  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain, set aside and keep warm.
  • While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Melt the butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until it begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the shallot, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chives, and tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and lobster and toss well to coat. Divide the pasta between serving bowls and garnish with additional tarragon and chives, if desired.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (12 to 14 fritters)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 to 8 tablespoons (3/4 to 1 stick) unsalted butter
5 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups fresh corn kernels (2 to 3 ears)
12 ounces freshly cooked lobster meat, 1/4-inch-diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
2 teaspoons sriracha chili sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2/3 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 (1 1/2-pound) cooked lobsters, cracked and split
3 ears corn
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup cream sherry
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1/4 pound bacon, large-diced
2 cups large-diced unpeeled Yukon gold potatoes (2 medium)
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups diced celery (3 to 4 stalks)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup cream sherry

Steps:

  • Remove the meat from the shells of the lobsters. Cut the meat into large cubes and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Reserve the shells and all the juices that collect. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and set aside, reserving the cobs separately.
  • For the stock, melt the butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven large enough to hold all the lobster shells and corncobs. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for 7 minutes, until translucent but not browned, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, cream, wine, lobster shells and their juices, and corn cobs and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and simmer the stock over the lowest heat for 30 minutes. (I move the pot halfway off the heat.)
  • Meanwhile, in another stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and cook the bacon for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until browned and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the potatoes, onions, celery, corn kernels, salt, and pepper to the same pot and saute for 5 minutes. When the stock is ready, remove the largest pieces of lobster shell and the corn cobs with tongs and discard. Place a strainer over the soup pot and carefully pour the stock into the pot with the potatoes and corn. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the cooked lobster, the chives and the sherry and season to taste. Heat gently and serve hot with a garnish of crisp bacon.
