Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Carefully add the live lobsters, cooking them for 8-10 minutes until bright red. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then crack them open and chop the meat.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
- Pour in ½ cup of white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and let it thicken for around 3 minutes.
- Fold in the chopped lobster meat, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix gently to coat the lobster in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your broiler to high. Fill the reserved lobster shells with the creamy mixture, packing it in. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese generously on top. Broil for 3-5 minutes until melted and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve on a platter or individual plates alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread.

Notes
Freshness of ingredients is key for the best flavor. Be cautious with the broiling process to avoid burning the cheese.
