juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1-2 pinches cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch freshly ground white pepper
1lb lump Crabmeat
Place 2 salad plates in the fridge
Method:
Combine all the above ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Pick through your crabmeat for any shells, being careful not to separate

Butter Poached Lobster Tails
2 4-ounce (113-gram) lobster tails
1 tablespoons (30 ml) water
16 tablespoons (224 grams) butter, cut into 16 pieces
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon truffle salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Step 1
Remove the tails from their shells: Use kitchen shears to cut all the way down the underside of the shell and then pry the shell open like a book. Wiggle your thumb between the meat and the top of the shell and remove the meat in one piece by gently but firmly prying it out of the open shell. If you see a "vein" (actually the digestive tract) running
down the center of the tail, cut a slit into the underside of the tail and remove the vein.
Step 2
Make the poaching liquid / beurre monté. Set a small skillet over medium-low heat . Pour in the water and let it heat up a bit. Add one piece of butter and whisk into the water until melted. Then whisk in the second piece.
