Instructions

1. Thaw puff pastry until soft but still cool. Roll out if using homemade and keep chilled.

2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sauté for 3 minutes.

3. Stir in flour to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove flour taste.

4. Gradually whisk in seafood stock, then add heavy cream and sherry. Simmer until slightly thickened.

5. Add carrots, peas, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes until carrots begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Stir in lobster meat and remove bay leaf. Let the filling cool slightly.

7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spoon filling into ramekins or a baking dish.

8. Cover with puff pastry, allowing a slight overhang. Seal and crimp edges. Brush with egg wash.

9. Place on baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

10. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, use homemade seafood stock or simmer shrimp shells for a quick broth.

Let the filling cool before adding pastry—this helps keep the crust crisp and flaky.

If you’re serving a crowd, double the recipe and bake it in a large pie dish.
