Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sherry
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup Sea scallops, cooked
- 1 cup Shrimp, cooked and peeled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 6 pieces Puff pastry shells or toast points (for serving)
Instructions
In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour to create a roux, and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the sherry, heavy cream, and milk to the roux, whisking until smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Temper the yolks by slowly adding a few tablespoons of the hot sauce into the bowl while stirring constantly.
Once tempered, slowly stir the egg yolk mixture back into the sauce in the saucepan.
Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Add the salt and cayenne pepper to the sauce, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Gently fold in the cooked lobster, scallops, and shrimp, ensuring the seafood is evenly coated in the sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, just until the seafood is heated through.
Serve the Seafood Newburg over puff pastry shells or toast points, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
