OK, seafood guy, how am I going to do the big sea scallops that are waiting for me at home tonight? The rain will prevent grilling, and it's boring to just run them under the broiler.

I made a batch of this to go on our appetizer, everyone agreed I should make more for the crab cakes it was so good!

Sauce
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped roasted red peppers packed in jar
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies

Mix all ingredients in bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

My own concoction!

Polenta - instant works fine
Fresh crab meat
red caviar ($6.99)
chipotle sauce
sprigs of parsley

Form cakes of the polenta in ramekins and flip over on a plate
spoon some crab on top
add some red caviar on top of the crab
spoon some sauce around
arrange parsley sprigs

And voila, an apetizer!!

The creamiest, richest soup that you can slurp!!


First off, you need the rest of your lobster stock and meat.
3 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, plus extra, for garnish
1/2 teaspoon saffron
6 cups heavy cream
1 cup cream sherry
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 reserved lobster head

put pot on medium heat. Add heavy cream slowly, using whisk to blend. Add sherry. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes; bisque will thicken slightly. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and slowly add to bisque with whisk. Simmer on low heat for another 20 minutes.

If you prefer your bisque to be thicker, you may add more cornstarch, or perhaps, flour, but have found the bisque thickens nicely over low heat, and additional cornstarch or flour takes away from the wonderful flavor.

Place pieces of previous cleaned lobster meat in bowl and add 1 cup of bisque. Garnish with head and one parsley leaf in center, if desired.

By now, too many white russians and my plating is suffering!:D

Variation:

Use whole milk or half and half instead of the cream and put in a cup and a half to two cups of Velveta cheese to make it a lobster cheese soup. You can sub other cheeses like cheedar but the Velveta makes it good.

Velveeta is amazing stuff...apparently it can turn lobster bisque into crab cheese soup!

Sorry for the mistake you eagle eyed little thing. The recipe came from crab cheese but works just as well with lobster.

Go back to eating your Philly ChesseScrapple sandwich and leave the discussion of seafod to those that actually have eaten it before.
