Method
Step 1 of 5
Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise. Remove the meat from the claws and tail, along with any coral or meat from the head. Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. Clean out the body shells and reserve.
Step 2 of 5
To prepare the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook about 2 minutes, until softened. Add the wine and boil for 2-3 minutes to reduce the liquid by about half.
Step 3 of 5
Add the cream and stock and boil rapidly, stirring often, about 7 minutes, until reduced and beginning to thicken. Stir in the parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, and mustard. Stir in half of the Gruyère. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 of 5
Preheat the broiler. Add the lobster meat to the sauce, then divide between the lobster shells. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Step 5 of 5
Place on a foil-lined broiler rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Sprinkle with a little paprika. Serve hot, with lemon wedges.
