Sauce with Lobster

I am preparing a dish of seared scallops and Maine lobster tail medelions. Under the scallops will be a roasted orange Bure blanc. The Lobster will be warmed in a clarified brown butter and then served with the scallops. I will be serving the leftover lobster meat as a garnish in a Puff pastry cup. Please I need ideas as to what sauce to serve the leftover lobster meat with. Some ideas are lemon butter, a hint of a lobster bisque, a light cream basil pesto, I will be serving a Pavillion Blanc 2007.

Gary, all the ideas you have are great. But unless you don't like tarragon, I'd highly reccomend the kind of sherry-cream sauce you'd make for Lobster Thermidor (recipes will be all over the net) with tarragon, a splendid and classic match for rich shellfish like lobster. You can even stretch the lobster by adding a few halves of quickly stir-fried mushrooms.

'clarified brown butter'?? i thought the solids were what made it brown.

I like Jenise's idea a lot - that would add another dimension to the flavors. The "touch of lobster bisque" idea also sounds good, but maybe not quite as interesting as the tarragon.

There is always the hoary modern way: vanilla sauce.

Please explain your vanilla sauce with the lobster.

Yes the bits do brown but so does the butter fat. It can also be clarified after it is browned

One of the smashing successes of the nouvelle cuisine was Alain Senderens' lobster with vanilla sauce. The sweetness of the lobster meat is accented by a hint of the spice that we all associate with sweet bakery. Sample recipes:

The trick of the dish is that the vanilla must be a subtle hint, a whisper, a glimpse of an unexpected panorama... not a whack up side the head with a Tahitian 2"x4":
