Ingredients

50g butter
2 (170g) cans diced lobster meat
2 large celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup cream sherry
1 L heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add lobster, celery, carrots, onion, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaf, parsley, seasoned salt, and lemon juice; cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.

2

Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.

3

Add sherry; cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.

4

Add heavy cream; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; simmer until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.

5

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids.

6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
