"Lobster is simmered in a tomato sauce with shallots, garlic, tarragon, and thyme, then flamed with cognac for a truly impressive dish. Be sure to read the flambe tips before you begin. Cooking the lobster with its shell adds extra flavor, but you may remove the shell before cooking, if you wish. Serve with a rice pilaf for a complete meal...."
