The Story & Intro
The first time I tasted Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce, I wasn’t in a fancy restaurant. I was standing in my grandmother’s warm kitchen in Crete, watching her gently stir a creamy sauce while telling stories about special meals made for celebrations. Of course, lobster wasn’t something we cooked often on the island, but the idea of turning something luxurious into comfort food stayed with me forever.
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Cooking has been part of my life since childhood, learning from my grandmother how to make dishes full of love and flavor. I truly believe food brings people together, especially women who share warmth and happiness through cooking. That’s exactly what Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce represents to me elegance without intimidation.
This dish may sound fancy, but Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce is surprisingly simple when you take it step by step. Rich cream, tender lobster, a touch of sherry, and gentle spices come together to create something unforgettable. I like to keep things simple but tasty, mixing classic recipes with a little creativity. Yes, my kitchen sometimes gets messy, but that’s where the magic happens.
Whether you’re cooking for a romantic dinner, a holiday table, or just because you deserve something special, Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce feels like home dressed up for a celebration. Let’s cook together and make memories. 💛
🛒 Ingredients
| 🛒 Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cooked lobster meat (chopped) | 1 lb |
| Unsalted butter | 4 tbsp |
| Heavy cream | 1 ½ cups |
| Egg yolks | 3 |
| Dry sherry | 3 tbsp |
| Paprika | ½ tsp |
| Cayenne pepper | Pinch |
| Salt | To taste |
| Black pepper | To taste |
| Nutmeg (optional) | Pinch |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Warm the Butter
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter gently. You don’t want it to brown just warm and silky, like my grandmother always insisted.
Step 2: Add the Lobster
Add the chopped lobster meat to the butter. Stir softly and let it warm through for about 2–3 minutes. The lobster should stay tender and juicy.
Step 3: Build the Cream Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Stir slowly and let the sauce simmer gently never boil. This is the soul of Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce.
Step 4: Temper the Egg Yolks
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot cream sauce into the yolks, whisking constantly. This keeps them smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Finish the Sauce
Pour the tempered yolks back into the skillet. Stir continuously over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the sherry and nutmeg, if using.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Remove from heat and serve warm. The sauce should coat the lobster like velvet rich, smooth, and comforting.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Lobster Newburg is incredibly versatile, even though it feels luxurious.

For special occasions, I love serving Lobster Newburg Classic Cream Sauce in shallow bowls with crusty bread on the side perfect for soaking up every drop.
