Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cooked 1-pound lobsters
6 cups light cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
2 large potatoes, peeled and finely diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the lobster meat from the shells, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside. Put the shells and bodies in a large saucepan.
  • Gradually stir some of the cream into the cornstarch until the cornstarch is smoothly dissolved. Add the dissolved cornstarch and remaining cream to the saucepan with the shells. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add corn, potatoes and onions, and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain hot cream mixture into saucepan with corn; continue to simmer 5 minutes or so, until potatoes are tender.
  • Add the lobster meat, and season to taste with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Simmer for another minute; serve.
