Dublin Lawyer - Lobster Dublin Style With Whiskey and Cream image

A decadant classic Irish recipe which is thought to be at least two centuries old; fresh lobster baked with cream and Irish whiskey - delectable! Though no one's absolutely sure where Dublin Lawyer got its name, locals still insist that it's probably because Dublin lawyers had a reputation for being rich and having a lot of whiskey in them! The dish remains simple, quick and easy to make, but delivers on the luxury and romantic meal front! Try this out for St Patrick's Day as a seafood alternative to the usual corned beef and cabbage stew.

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter seafood dish next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. The lobster was still good, though.
