Instructions

6 steps

1

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

Mince chives; reserve 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings) for step 5 (you’ll use the remaining in the next step). Zest and halve lemon; slice one half into ¼-inch-thick rounds (for 4, zest both lemons; halve one lemon and slice remaining lemon into ¼-inch-thick rounds).

Using kitchen shears, cut along underside of each lobster* shell, leaving meat intact and stopping at tail; pull sides of shell apart to expose meat (do not remove meat from shell).
2

Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with crème fraîche and 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed.

Stir in remaining chives and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
3

While potatoes cook, cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss broccoli and lemon rounds on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast on top rack until broccoli is golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes. Carefully toss with half the lemon zest.

Meanwhile, place garlic herb butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 5-10 seconds.
4

Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels; place in a medium bowl with a drizzle of oil. Season with half the paprika (all for 4 servings), ¼ tsp garlic powder (½ tsp for 4), salt, and pepper; toss to coat. (Be sure to measure the garlic powder; we sent more.)

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-5 minutes.

Transfer shrimp to a separate medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
5

Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add lobster tails, cut sides up, and a splash of water. Cover pan and cook until lobster is slightly opaque and almost cooked through, 3 minutes.

Uncover pan and add half the softened garlic herb butter (save the rest for serving); spoon melted butter over lobster until meat is opaque and cooked through, 1 minute more.

Stir in reserved chives and remaining lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer lobster tails to cutting board.
6

Using a chef’s knife, halve lobster tails lengthwise. TIP: If you don’t have a chef’s knife, use a large, sharp knife.

Add remaining garlic herb butter to bowl with shrimp and toss to coat.

Divide shrimp, lobster, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and lemon rounds between plates. Spoon any melted garlic herb butter from pan over lobster. Cut remaining lemon into wedges; serve on the side.
