Description
A luxurious dish featuring tender lobster meat in a creamy sauce, topped with golden brown cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 live lobsters (1.5 pounds each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Place lobsters in the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until shells turn bright red. Remove using tongs and allow to cool slightly before cracking open shells and reserving the meat.
- In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until tender, approximately 4 minutes.
- Pour dry white wine into the skillet and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until reduced by half. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Chop lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and gently fold into the cream sauce with paprika and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat broiler to high. Fill cleaned lobster shells with the lobster mixture. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over each filled shell and place under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from broiler, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to use live lobsters for the freshest taste.
- Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- This dish pairs well with a glass of white wine.
