Add the chopped lobster meat to the melted butter and sauté gently until the butter turns a delicate pink hue. Be careful not to overcook the lobster; we're just infusing the butter with its flavor. (5-7 minutes)

Gradually pour in the half-and-half cream, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth and even consistency. (2 minutes)

Heat the stew over medium heat until it is hot, but do not boil. Boiling will cause the cream to separate and compromise the texture. (10-15 minutes)
06 Step

1 hrs
Remove from heat and let the stew rest for at least an hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
07 Step

10 mins
When ready to serve, gently reheat the stew over low heat. (5-10 minutes). Serve hot with oyster crackers.
For an even richer flavor, consider using lobster stock in place of some of the half-and-half cream.
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
A splash of brandy can also be used in place of sherry.
Be very careful not to boil, keep heat low.
