How to Remove Color From Lobster Shells
- 1). Bring your broth to a boil, and place your lobster in the broth with the legs facing up. Boil six minutes covered on each side, then remove from water and place on a plate to cool.
- 2). Cut out all the meat from the shells once the lobster is cool enough to handle safely. Return the empty shells to the broth and continue to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- 3). Strain out the broth into a bowl to remove pieces of the shell, and you have a broth which has absorbed much of the flavor and color of the lobster. This can be used in soups, bisque, sauces and chowders.
