Preparation Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add live lobsters and cook for 8-10 minutes until bright red. Remove and cool in ice water, then extract the lobster meat.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped shallots until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and cook for another 3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Chop cooled lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and fold into the creamy sauce. Add 1 teaspoon paprika and half of the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your broiler to high. Spoon the lobster mixture back into the emptied lobster shells and top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Remove from broiler, let cool slightly, and serve hot with a light salad or crusty bread.
