Hearty Lobster Stew Recipe

Start with 4-5 oz. per person of fresh Maine lobster meat. Saute the meat with 1/2 stick of butter per person, on medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add sauteed meat to one cup whole milk per person (you may substitute half and half if you prefer a heartier base). Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes -- do not allow it to boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, then cool and refrigerate. Lobster stew always tastes better if it is allowed to set overnight. Serve the next day, piping hot. Top with paprika and a few parsley flakes for decoration.
