Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds cooked lobster meat
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups lobster stock (or chicken stock)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the lobster by boiling it in salted water for about 8-10 minutes if using whole lobsters. Remove the meat from shells and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onions and mushrooms until translucent.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually add lobster stock while whisking to prevent lumps until the mixture thickens.
- Reduce heat to low, add heavy cream, and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with a few tablespoons of hot sauce to temper them. Slowly mix back into the skillet while stirring continuously.
- Flavor the sauce with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Fold in the cooked lobster meat until warmed through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving garnished with parsley.
