Here's three we use... from simple to complex:
Open Face Lobster Sandwich
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (Green Onions wil do as well)
1 11- to 12-ounce frozen lobster tail, thawed
4 slices bread, toasted (We prefer Potato Bread or Crusty Sourdough)
Combine first 4 ingredients and 2 tablespoons chives in medium bowl. If not already prepared, cook lobster in medium pot of boiling salted water until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Drain; cool. Remove meat from shell. Dice lobster (larger pieces are better); fold into mayonnaise mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon salad atop toasted bread slices. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives and serve.

Lobster Stew (State of Maine's Traditional Recipe)
Approximately 4 cups lobster meat. (Equals two medium cooked lobsters)
butter
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
salt, pepper, and paprika
PREPARATION:
Remove meat from cooked lobsters. Cut meat into cubes and fry in a generous amount of butter until very lightly browned (don't burn the butter!). Heat milk; add to lobster meat and cook slowly for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add heavy cream and bring just to the boiling point. Add salt and pepper to taste and a little paprika for color.
Serves 6.

Lobster Newburg (This isn't our recipe, but very close)

1/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups half-and-half (half milk, half cream)
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 cups coarsely chopped lobster meat
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 puff pastry shells, baked, or toast points

Contd.
Contd.

PREPARATION:
Melt butter in a large skillet; blend in flour then gradually stir in half-and-half. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks; return to hot mixture.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add lobster, sherry, lemon juice, and salt; heat thoroughly, but do not boil. Serve in hot patty shells or over toast points.
Serves 6.

Enjoy the crustaceans!
