Ingredients Needed:

• 680g cooked lobster
• 30g butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 330ml fresh fish stock
• 60ml white wine
• 60ml heavy cream
• ½ tsp hot English mustard
• 8g chopped fresh parsley
• 15ml fresh lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 30g freshly grated Parmesan cheese

How To Make Lobster Thermidor Recipe?

1. Prepare the Lobster: Cut the lobster in half lengthwise, then remove the meat from the claws, tail, and head. Chop the meat into pieces and place it back into the lobster shells.
2. Cook the Shallot: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook, stirring, until softened (around 3-4 minutes).
3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the fish stock, white wine, and cream. Bring to a boil and let it simmer until the sauce reduces by half.
4. Add Flavor: Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and hot mustard, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Prepare for Broiling: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the stuffed lobster halves on a broiling pan or baking sheet.
6. Assemble the Lobster: Spoon the sauce over the lobster meat, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
7. Broil the Lobster: Broil in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Serve: Serve immediately, enjoying the rich, creamy lobster.

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overcook the Lobster: Broil the lobster just until the cheese is golden. Overcooking will make the lobster rubbery and dry.
• Use Fresh Lobster: For the best flavor, use fresh lobster instead of frozen. Fresh lobster has a sweeter, richer taste.
• Simmer the Sauce Gently: Reduce the sauce slowly over medium heat to avoid burning it and to keep the flavors balanced.
• Customize the Sauce: Feel free to add a splash of brandy or sherry to the sauce for extra richness and depth of flavor.
• Serve Immediately: Lobster Thermidor is best when served hot, right out of the oven. The sauce will stay creamy and the lobster tender.
