Classic Lobster Newburg Recipe - Tasting Table

First, let's get the answer to your big question out of the way: no, you do not need to cook a live lobster to make lobster Newburg. For this classic dish, you can use fresh lobster or lobster tail meat. You can also substitute frozen or even canned lobster meat for the fresh version. This makes a dish that used to be the purview of the rich and famous more accessible and affordable for the rest of us!

Other than lobster meat, we will use butter, egg yolks, heavy cream, and dry sherry or Madeira wine in our filling. The only seasoning we need is fresh parsley, salt, and nutmeg (or chili powder), a subtle slate of spices meant to not overpower the delicate flavor of the lobster meat.

Finally, to serve lobster Newburg, you can use puff pastry shells or even just a simple slice of toast. If using toast, it is customary to cut it into triangles or crustless squares for a classic neat visual presentation.
