Boil the claws for 4 minutes and the tails for 3 minutes, until they are just barely cooked with some translucency left in the middle.

Put the 6 medallions and 2 claws in a small saucepan with the buerre blanc Warm the butter in a small saucepan and fold in the crabmeat and chives. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange 3 medallions on each serving plate, and put a spoonful of the crabmeat in the center. Top with a claw.
- Warm the green leek and blood orange sauces separately, and spoon each sauce around the lobster and crab.
