Recipes Seafood Shellfish Lobster Lobster Newberg 4.7 (35) 28 Reviews 11 Photos This really is a great, and simple recipe. The sauce is pretty rich, so you want something just thick enough to coat the meat, but not so thick that it covers it up. Having said that, if you cook it a little further, until it almost starts to simmer, it will get a bit thicker, if that's your preference. Just don't go too far, or the yolks may start to form curds, and you'll lose the silkiness. Serve over buttered toast or in freshly baked puff pastry shells for lobster puffs.

Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place tails, meat-side down, in hot butter, and sauté until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool. Pour sherry into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until sherry is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. Pull meat from shells; discard shells and roughly chop lobster meat. Pour any accumulated juices from the plate into sherry mixture in the skillet. Whisk cream, egg yolks, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Whisk cream mixture into sherry mixture, return skillet to medium-low heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 7 minutes. Stir lobster into sauce and cook until heated through. Season with parsley and salt. Chef John Chef's Notes You can substitute brandy for sherry, if desired. Get the recipe for Puff Pastry Shells.
