Yield: Serves 6-8.

• 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 3 ounces butter
• 6 ounces sherry
• 1-1/2 pounds cooked fresh lobster meat, cut in 1-inch chunks
• 2 ounces brandy
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 tablespoon lobster base (available from gourmet food shops and some seafood markets)
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 drops Tabasco sauce
