Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the lobster just until it turns opaque and slightly firm to avoid overcooking and making it tough.
• For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the cream with lobster stock or seafood broth.
• Garnish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a hint of acidity that balances the richness of the cream sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Creamed lobster on puff pastry shells is best served immediately to enjoy the crispness of the pastry.
• If you have leftovers, store the creamed lobster mixture separately from the puff pastry shells in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• Reheat the lobster mixture in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Reheat the puff pastry shells in the oven until crispy again.
• Once reheated, spoon the creamed lobster mixture into the freshly baked puff pastry shells and serve.
