Where's the flavor? Great BASIC recipe, but I used slivered garlic in my clarified butter....sautéed chopped onions and sliced mushrooms in it to start, THEN the sherry.....then the yolks, cream, nutmeg and cayenne! To my taste, the sauce could have been quadrupled...(still using only 2 egg yolks) as we prefer lots of SAUCE....(served over angel hair topped with chopped parsley...!)
Made this tonight using frozen puff pastry to make it easier and this was delicious. Per the video I used tarragon instead because that's what I had as well as cognac instead of sherry because I had it on hand, both changes mentioned in the video, only other change was adding a little diced shallot when adding the congac. Awesome !!!!!!! A few years ago I made a large bowl of this when I lived in CT a few years ago when lobster was cheaper than hot dogs for the 4th of July and poured it over a pile of pasta, it was incredible.
Like Carole I added garlic onions and mushrooms. Also instead of sauteeing the lobster in the shell I took the lobster meat out and chopped it then added to onions to sautee briefly before adding the sherry and cream mixture. I thought there was enough sauce as is. (I saved the shells to make seafood broth later.) I served over puff pastry... next time I'll serve with a side of rissotto.
I made it for a dinner party and it was a big hit. I doubled the recipe for the sauce and added scallops and langastinos to the lobster and called it seafood newberg.
Husband made this exactly as the recipe is written and I thought it was delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing!
Wonderful. Doubled the sauce and added shallots and fresh mushrooms. Would definitely make again for a special occasion.
I had a little extra lobster so made 1 1/2 x receipe. I did use the pastry shells and it was a huge hit!!!
I made this with changes that were suggested and it was amazing. Oh I used lobster bites from Costco lol and it worked out
frozen puff pastry shells are readily available in just about any supermarket frozen section.
I was looking for a little more flavor the Sherry and Nutmeg just did not shine through for me on this one.
