12 ounces lobster shells
8 ounces onions
1 ounce butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 ounce tomato paste
1 1/2 ounces brandy
1 1/2 quarts shellfish veloute (shellfish stock thickened by white roux)
16 ounces heavy cream, heated
16 ounces lobster tail meat
4 ounces coconut milk
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 ounces white wine
1 lb lobster tail meat
10 flour tortillas
8 ounces brie cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Saute the lobster shells and onions in butter, then add garlic, paprika, and tomato paste.
  • Cook out for a few minutes.
  • Add the brandy and deglaze.
  • Let the brandy reduce until dry.
  • Now add the veloute, and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Strain sauce through a cheesecloth.
  • Return the sauce to a simmer and add the heavy cream.
  • Dice the lobster meat, saute, and add to the sauce, simmering gently for 5 minutes.
  • Strain and reserve.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, Backdraft and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Add the white wine immediately before serving.
  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  • Soften the tortillas (see TIP below) and roll tortilla into enchiladas, filling each with about 3 tablespoons Lobster and Brie mixture.
  • Bake enchiladas for 8-10 minutes until cooked, but not crisped.
  • Remove and serve two per person, covering each portion with plenty of sauce.
  • TIP: To soften the tortillas, run them, one at a time, under running water.
  • Shake off excess water, and then place in a hot non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • In about 15 seconds, steam will begin to escape; flip the tortilla and heat the over side.

  • Heat for up 45-60 seconds.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 medium jalapenos, finely diced
2 extra-large tomatoes, finely diced
1 large red onion, finely diced
Juice of 2 medium limes
2 ounces chopped fresh cilantro
15 poblano peppers
1 medium onion, diced
2 ounces plus 1/2 cup unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, minced
One 48-ounce can chicken stock
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
One 8-ounce spiny Florida lobster tail, shelled
1/2 cup white wine
Three 6-inch corn tortillas
4 ounces shredded Cheddar-jack cheese
3 large tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
Lemon wedge and fresh cilantro sprig, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pico de gallo: Mix jalapenos, tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • For the roasted poblano sauce: Roast poblanos on a char-broiler until skin is black on all sides. Transfer to a pan and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes to further sweat the poblanos. Under running water, peel and clean poblanos and remove all seeds and stems.
  • Saute onion in 2 ounces butter until it starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add a cup of chicken stock to cool. Remove mixture to a blender and puree, then transfer to a saucepot. Add poblanos to blender in batches and puree, adding more chicken stock as needed to loosen, then combine with ingredients in the pot. Add cilantro, cumin, taco seasoning, salt and pepper to pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make a roux by adding flour to remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saute pan and cooking slowly to a golden hue, about 10 minutes. Thicken sauce to desired thickness by adding roux to pot.
  • For the enchiladas: Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
  • Cut lobster into medium bite-sized pieces and par-cook in white wine in a pan 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and divide into 3 portions. Cover a sizzle plate with 1 cup poblano sauce (save remainder for another use). Place corn tortillas on a hot grill or saute pan and warm about 10 seconds per side to soften, then remove. Form tortillas into 3 enchiladas with lobster and some shredded cheese. Place on sizzle plate and top with more cheese and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Bake, 5 minutes. Transfer enchiladas to a plate with a spatula, then push cooked sauce on top of enchiladas. Add a ramekin of pico de gallo on the side (save remainder for another use), a lemon wedge and a sprig of cilantro and serve.
