Steps:
- Plunge the lobsters headfirst into a large quantity of boiling salted water. Cook for 5 minutes and drain. Pierce the lobsters between the eyes and suspend them head down so that they drain further.
- Cut off the claws and tail sections of the lobsters. Crack the shells and remove the meat in whole pieces. Cut the tail lengthwise into 4 equal- size pieces. Leave the claw meat intact.
- Meanwhile, combine one-quarter cup of the white wine, the cream, the vermouth, 1 tablespoon of shallots and one-half teaspoon finely minced garlic. Bring to a boil and let cook until the sauce is reduced to about three-quarters of a cup.
- Cut the scallions on the bias into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Cut the celery on the bias into quarter-inch widths.
- Heat the butter in a casserole and add the remaining 4 teaspoons chopped shallots and the remaining quarter teaspoon minced garlic. Add the scallions, celery, lobster pieces and remaining wine. Heat briefly. Pour the sauce over all and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the lobster meat is thoroughly hot. Add the cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, lemon juice and chopped dill.
- Arrange 3 or 4 corn cakes on each of four plates. Arrange 2 lobster tail pieces and 1 claw in the center. Spoon an equal portion of the sauce over each serving. Garnish each serving with a dill sprig.
