Ingredients

  • 2 lobster (or 1 lb ShopLobster Claw & Knuckle)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brandy or sherry
  • 1/2 cup lobster stock or seafood broth
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small shallot chopped
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional) grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or tarragon (optional)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Lobster: (Skip this step if you are using ShopLobster’s Claw & Knuckle meat)

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the lobsters and cook them for about 8–10 minutes, or until they are bright red.
  • Remove the lobsters from the water and let them cool slightly.
  • Once cooled, remove the lobster meat from the shells, cut into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Reserve the shells for lobster stock (optional) or discard.

Make Stock (optional):

  • If you want to make your own lobster stock, combine the lobster shells with water, some aromatics (like onion, celery, and thyme), and bring to a simmer for about 30 minutes. Strain before using.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the white wine and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the seafood broth or lobster stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the liquid slightly, which should take about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the brandy and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and heavy cream.
  • Gradually pour the egg yolk mixture into the skillet while stirring constantly, making sure not to scramble the eggs.
  • Continue to cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Do not let it boil.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Combine Lobster and Sauce:

  • Gently fold the lobster meat into the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the lobster is heated through.

Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or tarragon and serve immediately.
  • A traditional way of serving Lobster Newburg is on a bed of toasted bread or in a puff pastry shell.
  • Or you can serve the Lobster Newburg in individual dishes, such as a bowl or ramekin.
