Best Hot Lobster Canapes Recipes

LOBSTER SALAD CANAPES

Steps:

• Plunge lobster headfirst into a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook lobster, partially covered, over moderately high heat 9 minutes from time it enters water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
• While lobster is cooling, cut each cucumber slice with scalloped cutter (if using), discarding trimmings. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (to taste), jalapeño, salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• When lobster is cool, remove meat from claws, joints, and tail, discarding tomalley, roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/4-inch pieces. Add lobster, mango, celery, onion, and cilantro to dressing and toss well.
• Top each cucumber round with 1 rounded teaspoon lobster salad.

LINDA'S LOBSTER RANGOON

Steps:

• Put your cream cheese in a glass dish and microwave for 45 secs.
• Chop your green onions finely, and add to cream cheese.
• Add your lemon and garlic juice, and mix well.
• Chop your lobster finely, or use the blender. Add to cream cheese mixture, and mix in well.
• Put 30 won ton wrappers onto a lg. flat baking pan, I used a cookie sheet.
• Place a teaspoonful of mixture into the center of each won ton wrapper.
• Mix the egg and 2 T. of water together well. With 2 fingers, dip into the egg wash then rub around the edge of each won ton.
• Taking the bottom right tip of the won ton, bring it up to meet the top left tip, and press around the edges to make a seal, so the cream cheese mixture doesn't come out when deep frying.
• When all 30 won tons are done, put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• When ready to deep fry, heat your oil to 350 degrees F.
• Turn on your oven to 200.
• Drop 6 won tons in at a time and fry on one side, then flip and fry on the other. Place on a layer of 4 paper towels to absorb grease, then place in an oven proof dish, and put in oven to keep warm while the next batch is cooking.
• Serve with Duck or Plum Sauce for dipping.
