Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tails of raw lobster
- 10 cups water
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 minced shallot
- 2 large diced carrots
- 3 diced celery stalks
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot and cook the lobster tails for about 5 minutes until bright red. Remove, cool, and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
