Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add live lobsters and cook for 8-10 minutes until shells turn bright red. Remove and let cool, then crack open shells and extract lobster meat.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped shallots until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Pour in white wine and scrape up bits from the skillet. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce. Stir in heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Fold in chopped lobster meat, paprika, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon lobster mixture into cleaned shells and top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Preheat the broiler on high, place shells on a baking sheet, and broil for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot, ideally alongside a crisp salad or crusty bread.

Notes
Opt for heavy live lobsters for more meat. Check for bright red shells for doneness after boiling.
