Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 2 Lobsters
- 16 Scallops
- 16 Shrimp
- 12 asparagus
- 12 snow peas
- 1 spaghetti squash
Court-bouillon
- 30 g (1 oz.) French shallots, chopped
- 30 g (1 oz.) leek greens
- 200 ml (3/4 cup) white wine
- 1 liter (4 cups) fish stock
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 1 sprig of tarragon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1 bunch of tarragon
- 2 lobster heads
- 100 g (6 tbsp.) unsalted butter
- 10 g (1 tbsp.) fresh tarragon, chopped
- 12 oyster mushrooms
Method
  1. Put the ingredients for the court-bouillon into a large pot. Bring to a boil. Plunge the live lobsters into the court-bouillon and cook for 9 minutes.   
  2. Remove the lobsters, shell them, and repeat with the peeled shrimp and the scallops, cooking them for 1 1/2 minutes. 
  3. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the asparagus and snow peas uncovered: cook the snow peas for 1 minute and the asparagus for 5 minutes. 
  4. Hollow out a spaghetti squash with a fork, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 180° C (350° F).
  5. Sauté the oyster mushrooms in butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Reduce the court-bouillon by half and whisk in the unsalted butter and tarragon. Correct the seasoning as necessary. 
  7. Scrape the spaghetti squash into a bowl. Return all the other ingredients to the court-bouillon to reheat them. 
  8. Arrange these ingredients attractively on top of the spaghetti squash and top with a ladleful of court-bouillon. 
  9. Garnish with a sprig of tarragon and half a lobster head.
