2 Tablespoons olive oil, as needed
2 each carrots, chopped
2 each yellow onions, chopped
1head celery, chopped
1 bunch cilantro stems, chopped

Boil the lobster tails and claws for six minutes, until the shell can be removed. Reserve the claw meat, and dice the tail meat.

Sauté the lobster shells in olive oil with carrots, onions, celery, cilantro stems, and lemongrass for about eight minutes. Deglaze with wine and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for two hours. Strain, removing all solids.

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil and add the garlic, shallot, and scallions; sauté 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, the lime juice, and the fish sauce. Reduce and toss in peppers and lobster. Add stock; bring to a boil. Garnish with reserved claw and cilantro sprig.
