1⁄2 cup cooking sherry

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, fresh chives, minced, salt

1⁄2 lb raw lobsters, chopped or 1/2 lb lump crabmeat

Instructions:

  • Saute onion and carrot in 2 tablespoons butter until soft. Set aside.

  • In 4 quart saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter and add flour, whisking constantly over medium heat until the roux becomes light brown (about 5 minutes). Consistently stirs to avoid burning.
