Wiscasset Maine Lobster Stew
(To make about 1 quart) 1 2-lb. lobster or a couple of 1 pounders 8-10 Tbsp. butter 2 thick slices of onion 2 cups milk 2 cups light cream Salt, pepper 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
Directions: Cook lobster in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain; remove meat from shell. Reserve shell and coral (eggs) if any; chop meat into pieces Heat broken shells in 3 Tbsp. of the butter and Paprika. Add onion and sauté 5 minutes. Add milk and cream and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer 5 minutes more. You can let it sit like this, off the heat, until you're almost ready to serve it. Strain into another saucepan. Add lobster and coral. Reheat with remaining 3 Tbsp. butter.
