lobster thermidor

Shell-served seafood luxury

Lobster thermidor is a rich French dish of lobster meat cooked in a creamy sauce with egg yolks, brandy, and mustard, then returned to the shell and browned under a broiler.

The dish is elaborate and old-fashioned, associated with luxury dining and special occasions: We ordered the lobster thermidor to celebrate our anniversary.
