Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Add live lobsters and cover the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the lobsters turn bright red. Remove and cool slightly before cracking open and extracting the meat.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and stir for about 2 minutes until translucent. Add sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine and simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half. Then add 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously and cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the creamy sauce along with 1 teaspoon of paprika and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your broiler. Fill the lobster shells with the lobster and sauce mixture and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve hot on a platter or individual plates. Pair with a Caesar salad or crusty bread.
