At Delmonico’s, the kitchen might have served Newburg over toast cut into triangles, but rice works just fine.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked lobster or shrimp (about 1 pound lobster or 3/4 pound shrimp)
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
Instructions
1. Cut lobster into bite-size chunks. If using shrimp, leave whole or cut in half.
2. Whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup cream. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter. Add fish and toss to coat with butter. Add remaining cream, sherry, salt and cayenne; simmer 3 minutes to slightly reduce. Lower heat.
3. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup of sauce into yolk mixture; whisk. Stir yolk mixture into the pan; cook and stir until sauce thickens. Do not boil. Serve over toast or hot cooked white rice. Serves 4.
