1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry

Cut lobster into bite-size chunks. If using shrimp, leave whole or cut in half.
Whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup cream. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter. Add seafood and toss to coat with butter. Add remaining 1 cup cream, sherry, salt and cayenne; simmer 3 minutes to slightly reduce. Lower heat.
Ladle 1/4 cup of sauce into yolk mixture; whisk. Stir yolk mixture into the pan; cook and stir until sauce thickens. Do not boil. Serve over toast or hot white rice. Serves 4.
