Lobster Newburg

Lobster Newburg is one of my favourite seafood dishes, perfect for that special occasion.

Ingredients: 2 cooked lobsters (500g/1lb)
salt and freshly milled pepper
75g/3oz butter
5 tablespoons dry sherry
150ml (1/4 pint) of double cream
3 egg yolks
225g/8oz boiled rice (100g/4oz raw)
Paprika for garnish
  • Half lobsters along length and discard stomachs
  • Remove the meat and cut into neat cubes
  • Season with salt and pepper, then fry gently in butter for 4-5 minutes
  • Pour in Sherry, then simmer slowly until it has reduced by 50%
  • Put in cream, egg yolks into double saucepan
  • Cook until it is thick enough to coat a wooden spoon (Don’t Let it Boil)
  • Arrange the rice on 4 hot serving plates
  • Place lobster meat and liquor from the pan into the center of each plate
  • Pour the cream and egg yolk sauce over each
  • To finish off, sprinkle lightly with paprika.
