Lobster Thermidor Recipe: A Decadent Seafood Delight

Ingredients

• 1 medium (1 1/2 pound) cooked lobster
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1.38 cups fresh fish stock
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon hot English mustard
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for Lobster Thermidor.
2. Carefully halve the lobster lengthwise. Extract the meat from the claws, tail, and head, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and return it to the lobster shells.
3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté the shallot until it becomes soft and translucent.
4. Incorporate fish stock, white wine, and cream into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, reducing it by half. Then, stir in parsley, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Turn on your oven's broiler. Arrange the stuffed lobster halves on a broiling pan or baking sheet. Generously spoon the prepared sauce over the lobster meat, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
6. Broil in the preheated oven for a brief 3 to 4 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown.
7. Serve your exquisite Lobster Thermidor immediately and savor every bite!
