Recipe of the Week – Lobster Stuffed Shrimp in Lemon Butter Sauce

From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com.

I wanted to make something a little decadent but fairly easy to prepare for a dinner party on Saturday night. As my significant other loves the stuffed shrimp at Bonefish I thought I would make those. Pricey, but for that special meal well worth the cost and the effort.

Surprise your guests with this visually stunning appetizer and watch them disappear. ( the shrimp, not the guests )

Place the lobster puree in a pastry bag or baggie with the tip cut off and squeeze about a half teaspoon of the lobster into the pocket between the tail and the body of the shrimp. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the shrimp for 8 – 10 minutes until pink an cooked through.

For the sauce: place the white wine and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes; add the lemon zest and lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the butter 1 Tb at a time, swirling the pan to incorporate. Add the brandy and swirl. Make a slurry of 1 heaping tsp of corn starch and water; add to the lemon sauce and heat until thickened.

To plate: place a Tb of the sauce on a plate, place 3 shrimp on the sauce and drizzle another Tb of sauce on top of the shrimp and sprinkle with the chives.
