For an even richer flavor, consider using lobster stock in place of some of the heavy cream. Fresh lobster can be substituted for canned, just be sure to dice the lobster meat into appropriate sized pieces. To prevent scorching, stir the sauce frequently while simmering. Adjust the amount of sherry to your personal preference.
