Ingredients
Yield:2 servings
- 5cups (about 4 ounces) sea parsley
- 2lobsters, each 1¾ pounds
- 1¼pounds small new potatoes
- 1shallot, finely minced
- 5tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Place ½ inch of water in the bottom of a kettle fitted with a steamer rack. Cover the kettle, and bring it to a boil. Place parsley on the rack, and put lobsters on the parsley. Cover pot, and steam until lobsters are cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, place potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until they are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, cover and set aside.
- Step 3
When the lobsters are cooked, remove them from steamer with tongs, and place them on a platter. Remove the sea parsley from the steamer, and place it next to the lobsters. Measure out 1½ cups of the liquid from the steamer, and place it in a small saucepan with the shallots. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, uncovered, until only a tablespoon or two of liquid remains, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat as low as possible, and begin whisking the cold butter, a piece at a time, into the pan. Immediately remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons of the butter sauce. Place remaining sauce in a small dipping bowl.
