Court-bouillon
- 30 g (1 oz.) French shallots, chopped

- 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.
- Remove the lobsters, shell them, and repeat with the peeled shrimp and the scallops, cooking them for 1 1/2 minutes.
- 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.
- Hollow out a spaghetti squash with a fork, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 180° C (350° F).
- Sauté the oyster mushrooms in butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the court-bouillon by half and whisk in the unsalted butter and tarragon. Correct the seasoning as necessary.
- Scrape the spaghetti squash into a bowl. Return all the other ingredients to the court-bouillon to reheat them.
- Arrange these ingredients attractively on top of the spaghetti squash and top with a ladleful of court-bouillon.
- Garnish with a sprig of tarragon and half a lobster head.
