Liberate lobster separating the tail meat from the claw meat. Marinate the tail meat for about an hour or overnight if you have the time. Lightly marinate the lobster claws and reserve them for garnishing the plate. Lightly grill lobster tails and let cool. Make your cream cheese and yogurt mixture, folding in the sliced lobster tails, white wine, cilantro, and eggs, try not to break the lobster pieces too much so the filling will have some body. Crepes For the crepes, first mix all of the dry ingredients in bowl. Next, mix all the wet ingredients together in a bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mix until at desired consistency, which is a little loose. Ladle batter onto a greased griddle and cook just like a pancake. Let cool before stuffing. You will need 16 crepes. Shrimp Hollandaise The Shrimp Hollandaise is started by mixing the eggs, white wine, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Heat this mixture over a steam bath or flame until just starting to froth. Slowly start to add the clarified butter mixing rapidly. Keep adding butter until the mixture thickens into a medium consistency. This portion is the base for your sauce. To finish sauce steam or blanch baby shrimp add a little at a time to the sauce. Try not to overwhelm the sauce. Finish with the white pepper, salt, and Tabasco. Blueberry and Blackberry Compote The Blueberry and Blackberry compote is very simple to make and very tasty. First, rinse berries in cold water. Heat berries in heavy saucepan at a slow rate. While the berries are heating, reduce some balsamic vinegar by about one-third. When berries are ready, add the lemon juice, sugar, and balsamic reduction together to finish the compote. Garnish Items To assemble the plate you need to take one of your fresh crepes and place about 2 ounces of the lobster filling into the center of the disc. Roll the crepe into a cylinder, usually two crepes per plate. Bake in oven on 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Slice stuffed crepes on a bias into about half inch slices. Position pieces on plate in creative manner. Spoon compote onto plate, lightly dusting with confectionery sugar. Top crepes with hollandaise. Finish plate with the leftover whole claws and fresh chives and lemon zest. Creator Comment By: Chef James Byron, Bates College Dining Services, Lewiston, Maine.
