Excellent, Don't listen to Rick W. posted on 9/07/21. He needs to learn to cook, typical hack mob.

i made exactly to recipe and i have to agree with those that said this recipe is tomato bisque. tasty food but the tomato flavor of the bisque totally overpowers any lobster flavor you would hope for. very disappointing

How long do I cook the lobster in the sauce, how do I know when it is done. Thank you
