Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ lbs lobster meat
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken or seafood broth
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package of puff pastry
1 cup peas (optional)
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the lobster: If using live lobster, steam it until cooked, then remove the meat from the shell and chop into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked lobster, ensure it’s thawed if frozen.
Sauté the vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken or seafood broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Add lobster: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the mixture, ensuring it’s well coated with the sauce.
Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Use a round cutter or a knife to cut circles slightly larger than your baking dish.
Assemble the pie: Fill a greased baking dish with the lobster filling and carefully place the pastry on top. Seal the edges and cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
