Ingredients

• 1 pound lobster meat (cooked and chopped)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons shallots (finely minced)
• 0.25 cup dry sherry
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 large egg yolks
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 cooked white rice or puff pastry shells (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced shallots and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the lobster meat and cook gently for 2 minutes, warming it through while taking care not to overcook.

Step 4

Pour in the dry sherry and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to heat gently, but do not let it boil.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly, add a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.

Step 7

Gradually whisk the tempered yolks back into the skillet with the cream and lobster mixture. Stir continuously as the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Season the mixture with cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust to taste if necessary.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and allow the flavors to meld for a minute or two.

Step 10

Serve immediately over cooked white rice or in puff pastry shells for an elegant presentation.
