Lazy Man's Lobster
Recipe courtesy Jameson Tavern in Maine
1 tablespoon garlic herb butter
Meat from 1 (1 1/2 pound) fresh Maine lobster
Splash sherry, for deglazing pan
1/2 cup heavy cream
Serving suggestion: Toast points & lemon wedges
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the lobster meat and saute until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sherry, and stir to deglaze the pan, carefully scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the heavy cream and heat until it just reaches boiling. Serve immediately.
Remove from the pan and place in an individual-size casserole dish for serving. Serve hot with the toast points and lemon wedges.
Note: do not reduce the sauce or add any lobster broth, which can result in a salty dish.
