INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup butter/margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1-1/2 cup light cream
3 beaten egg yolks
10oz cooked lobster
cartilage removed
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS: 1. Melt butter/margarine in a saucepan; blend in flour. Add cream all at once. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Stir about half the hot mixture into egg yolks; return to hot mixture. Cook and stir till thickened: DO NOT BOIL OR MIXTURE WILL SEPARATE. Add lobster; heat through; stir in wine and lemon juice with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spoon into pastry shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. 2. CRAB NEWBURG:substitute 3/4 to 1-lb fresh crab meat or 2-7oz cans cleaned & drained or 2-6oz packages frozen thawed. 3. SHRIMP NEWBURG:Substitute 1-1/2 cups cooked shrimp or 2-4-1/2oz cans drained FOOTNOTES: I double the recipe for us and buy two packages of shells. Be sure to remove the centers of the shells as directed on the package. Crispy shells are better. Very elegant light lunch or special dinner for two.
