Deep Fried Lobster Surf N Turf With Corn Cake Short Stack And Roasted Red Pepper Syrup Food

SURF 'N EARTH

Steps:

• Make the garlic butter: Pulse the garlic in a food processor until chopped. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; pulse until smooth. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Prepare the mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt. Fill each mushroom with 1 heaping teaspoon of the garlic butter (reserve the remaining garlic butter for the crab filling). Arrange the mushrooms snugly in a baking dish and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and crabmeat; cook until the shallot is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in the reserved garlic butter (about 1/3 cup) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and push the crab mixture to one side of the skillet; let any excess juices collect.
• Remove the mushrooms from the oven and preheat the broiler. Stuff the mushrooms with the crab mixture. Toss the panko with the juices in the skillet; sprinkle over the mushrooms. Broil until golden, about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon wedges on top.

SURF N' TURF- FLANK STEAK AND PRAWNS WITH A SALAD OF GRILLED ROMAINE

• For the salad:
• Combine all ingredients, except the lettuce, tomato, and onion, in a bowl and whisk well to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the heads of romaine lengthwise and brush with a little olive oil. Place on a preheated grill and grill the lettuce, moving it around carefully, until charred and nice grill marks form. Remove the lettuce and tear into pieces. Place in a bowl with the onion and tomato and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with the steak and prawns.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
