I really liked this recipe! It was nice and decadent (and easy)....even with the changes I made due to what I had on hand. I doubled the recipe in an 8x8 casserole and used garlic and chicken broth in place of the shallots and white wine and I used Panko crumbs on top. Doubling the recipe did not allow enough heating time for the lobster (and I think I more than doubled the lobster) so next time I will bake it for about 20-30 minutes on 350 before I put it under the broiler so it will be piping hot. This is really rich, but so good! Thanks for posting, my family really liked it!
