Poached Seafood Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Court Bouillon

    In a large pot, combine water, white wine, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Poach the Lobster

    Once the court bouillon reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and add the split lobster tails. Poach for about 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Remove the lobster and set aside.

  3. 3

    Poach the Shrimp

    In the same pot, add the shrimp to the court bouillon. Poach for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the poached shrimp and lobster on a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
