Recipe by: Locke-Ober, Boston, MA Preparation Time: 1:00 NOTE: If you are using lobsters smaller than three pounds each, you will need enough smaller lobsters to produce a total of about 8 cups of meat after boiling and cooling. STEP ONE: The Sauce-- Heat butter to melting point in a large saucepan, add mushrooms and green pepper. Cook until tender. Add paprika and stir in sherimientos and blend well. Bring to a simmer. STEP TWO: The Lobster-- This can be done while vegetables are cooking. ReCut in a large dice. CHEF'S NOTE: Discard intestinal vein and stomach--a hard sac near the head--before dicing. STEP THREE: Add meat to sauce and simmer slowly for 10 minutes. Divide mixture evenly and spoon back into lobster shell. Dust with grated parmesan cheese and brown in a 375-degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve.
