Lobster Thermidor

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 2 medium (1 1/2 pound) cooked lobster
* 1/4 cup butter
* 2 shallot, finely chopped
* 2-3/4 cups fresh fish stock
* 1/2 cup white wine
* 1/2 cup double cream
* 1 teaspoon hot English mustard
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cut the lobster in half lengthwise, and remove the meat from the claws and tail. Leave to one side. Remove any meat from the head and set aside. Cut the meat up into pieces and place back into the shell.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook and stir until tender. Mix in the fish stock, white wine and double cream. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half. Mix in the mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper.
3. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
4. Place the lobster halves on a broiling pan or baking sheet, and spoon the sauce over the lobster meat in the shell. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
5. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, just until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Live Lobster

• Invariably, lobster quality is higher if it’s alive at purchase and cooked the same day. Many markets and grocery stores have live lobsters available, or there are mail-order businesses that will ship live lobster to your door.
• Any live lobster should be active in the tank, and curl its tail when lifted out of the water.
• Once home, cook as soon as possible, or refrigerate, covered with a damp towel. Don’t keep them in water or cover with ice; you don’t want them to drown.

Freshly Cooked

• Many fishmongers sell freshly cooked whole lobster. This is a great way to get the lobster if you don’t have the time or inclinations to buy live.
• Make sure the lobster is freshly cooked. If left in the shell for too long, the quality of the meat can degrade.

Frozen Tails

• Frozen tails are good choices for quick, fresh lobster.
• Available in a variety of sizes, these are perfect for throwing on the grill, or chopping into a sauté.
• Due to the freezing process, these won’t be quite as good as whole lobster, but they can certainly be worth the convenience.
