Lobster Thermidor
Creating this exquisite lobster Thermidor is surprisingly straightforward. Lobster shells are filled with cooked lobster meat in a creamy white wine sauce, then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and broiled until golden.
Ingredients
- 1 medium (1 ½ pound) cooked lobster
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 ⅜ cups fresh fish stock
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon hot English mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cut lobster in half lengthwise, and remove any meat from the claws, tail, and head. Cut meat into pieces and place back into the shells.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender. Mix in fish stock, white wine, and cream. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Mix in parsley, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Place stuffed lobster halves on a broiling pan or baking sheet. Spoon sauce over the meat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Broil in the preheated oven until just golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
