Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, stir, and cook, stirring constantly with a heavy wooden spoon, to make a medium brown-colored roux, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the onions, celery, peppers, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the cooled lobster stock, then add the sugar, tomatoes, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, lemon zest and hot sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until thick, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add the green onions, parsley, stone crab claws, shrimp and reserved lobster meat. Continue to simmer only until the seafood is just done, about 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Serve stew over rice, with additional hot sauce on the side.
  4. Lobster Stock:
  5. 4 Florida (spiny) lobster tails with their shells (or whole lobsters, if available)
  6. 2 1/2 cups water
  7. 1 medium onion, quartered
  8. 1/2 cup chopped celery
  9. 1 bay leaf
  10. 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
  11. Shell and devein the lobster tails. Chop the meat, cover and refrigerate for use in the stew.
  12. In a large saucepan, combine the shells and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard the shells and vegetables, reserving the stock.
  13. Yield: about 1 pint
