Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Thermidor
- Prepare the lobster by thoroughly halving the pre-cooked lobster tails lengthwise, removing the meat, chopping into bite-sized pieces, and returning to the shell halves.
- In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Pour in ½ cup of white wine and 1 cup of fresh fish stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce by half, then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and thicken over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add fresh lemon juice, hot English mustard, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Carefully pour the creamy sauce over lobster meat in the shells, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, let rest for a minute, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
