/2 cup butter  
tablespoons cornstarch  
teaspoon paprika  
/2 teaspoon salt  
/2 teaspoon MSG  
1/2 cups milk  
cup heavy cream  
eggs, beaten  
/2 cup sherry  
If you use lobster tails, cook as follows: Bring water to boil in a large kettle. Add 2 tablespoons  
tarragon vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt. When water is boiling vigorously, add lobster tails and continue  
cooking for 20 minutes. Lobster shells will be pink. Allow lobster to cool in liquid in which they were  
cooked. When cool, shell and cut lobster meat into pieces.  
Sauté lobster meat in butter which has been melted in a large skillet. Use medium heat and do not  
brown. Cook gently so lobster meat is not broken into fine pieces. Blend cornstarch and seasonings.  
Blend into butter and lobster. Add milk and cream, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Just  
before serving, add eggs, then slowly add sherry. Be sure lobster mixture is not at the boiling point  
when eggs and sherry are added or mixture will curdle.  
Serves 6.
