Ingredients

Crepes:

Lobster Champagne Sauce:

  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 2 ounces clarified butter
  • 2 cups white wine
  • 3 tablespoons commercial lobster base
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup champagne
  • 4 ounces roux
  • White pepper

Filling:

  • 2 ounces clarified butter
  • 2 ounces lobster meat, cubed
  • 2 ounces crawfish tail meat
  • 2 ounces shrimp pieces, large
  • 2 ounces crabmeat
  • 1/2 cup champagne
  • 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (scallions)
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Crepes: In a medium bowl, mix together all of the crepes ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight.

To a small, non-stick pan (crepe pan), coat with butter and put over medium heat. Pour about 2 ounces of batter in the pan and lift the pan off the heat, tilting in a circular motion until the batter forms a nice and even thin layer. Cook until top is firm and bottom has set. Turn the crepe over and cook until firm. Remove the crepe and begin a new one. Repeat with all of the remaining batter. Lobster Champagne Sauce: Sweat the onions, carrots, celery, shallots, and garlic in a medium saucepan with clarified butter for about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Then, add the lobster base and water and let simmer for about 5 minutes longer. Strain the mixture and put back in saucepot. Add the heavy cream and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the champagne and cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate the roux and bring back to a simmer to thicken. Season with white pepper, to taste.

Filling: In a medium saute pan, add the clarified butter. Add the seafood and let the shrimp cook through, about 3 minutes. Add the champagne and reduce for 1 minute. Add the lobster champagne sauce and let cook for another 2 minutes. Fold in the diced tomatoes and scallions and season with salt and pepper. Mixture is ready to serve.

Take 2 crepes and fill with some of the mixture and roll the crepes. Place in a shallow gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Add the remaining sauce and seafood on top of the crepes.

    Ok, here's my review. Excellent recipe in concept. Not for faint of heart. Must know how to cook. Improvising is critical. I made own lobster stock with shells from lobster, shrimp and crab. Ratio is off so use critical judgement. I added peas to lobster mixture and saffron. Other than that took more like four hours since chefs probably used prepped ingredients. Worth it for a special occasion unless you love to cook and perfect for weekend dinner when time isn't of the essence. Lovely sauce, mixture, and Crepes, but I used Jacques Pepin's recipe for the Crepes. Must make if you LOVE to cook and eat. Stellar recipe for mothers day, or other special meal. M.

    My husband and I loved this recipe. It's true, it is a lot of sauce. Next time I'll cut it in half or even more. We used lobster tail and jumbo shrimps and turned out delicious. Also, we did not strained the vegetables because we liked the texture. The crepes are easy to do and very good also. It is a heavy dish, so you can pair it with asparagus or any other greeny of your choice. Next time, I'll invite friends over and will impress them with this posh recipe.

    We loved this recipe!! The sauce can be saved and used over stuffed mushrooms or artichokes, and/or pan sauteed fish. Twice the delight!
