Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh lobster (live, medium size)
- 4 tablespoons Irish butter (unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare the lobster: Begin by cutting each live lobster in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Remove the claws, crack them slightly, and extract the meat. Remove the tail meat from the shell and set aside. Keep the shells for presentation or discard if preferred.
2. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
3. In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the Irish butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
4. Add the chopped lobster meat to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly pink and just cooked through. Remove the lobster meat from the pan and set it aside.
5. Carefully add the Irish whiskey to the hot skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 30 seconds to a minute until the alcohol burns off, taking care to avoid any flames.
6. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine the whiskey and cream, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
7. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring, until it thickens slightly.
8. Return the lobster meat to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat the pieces in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the lobster is heated through.
9. To serve, spoon the lobster and sauce back into the cleaned lobster shells (optional) or plate it directly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
