Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season lobster tails generously with salt. (Time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lobster tails, meat-side down, in the hot butter and sauté until just cooked through, approximately 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool. (Time: 4 minutes)

03

Step

Pour sherry into the skillet and bring to a boil, deglazing the pan by scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sherry is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat. (Time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully remove the lobster meat from the shells, discarding the shells. Roughly chop the lobster meat. Pour any accumulated juices from the plate into the sherry mixture in the skillet. (Time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper until well combined. (Time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Whisk the cream mixture into the sherry mixture in the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, approximately 3 to 7 minutes. (Time: 7 minutes)

07

Step

Gently stir the chopped lobster into the sauce and cook until heated through. Season with fresh parsley and additional salt to taste. Serve immediately. (Time: 3 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider infusing the clarified butter with a clove of garlic or a sprig of thyme before sautéing the lobster.
Ensure the sherry is dry rather than sweet for the best balance of flavors in the sauce.
Be vigilant while cooking the sauce to prevent the egg yolks from curdling. Maintain a gentle, constant stirring motion.
Serve Lobster Newberg immediately to preserve its creamy texture and vibrant flavors. Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a touch of elegance.
