"Lobster Newberg. Also "lobster a la Newburg"...The dish was made famous at Delmonico's Restaurant in New York in 1876 when the recipe was brought to chef Charles Ranhofer by a West Indies sea captain named Ben Wenberg. It was an immediate hit, especially for after-theater suppers, and owner Charles Delmonico honored the capatain by naming the dish "lobster a la Wenberg." But later Wenberg and Delmonico had a falling-out, and the restauranteur took the dish off the menu, restoring it only by popular demand by renaming it "lobster a la Newberg," reversing the first three letters of the captain's name.

I have seen numerous recipes on the net that say they are clones but this one is the best with the closest taste to the original Reb Lobster version.

The preparation of the shrimp creates a lovely crunchy texture. It is served with a creamy lemon, butter, and garlic sauce enriched with egg.

A desert that tastes like a creation of an award winning chef...

This is from Trader Vic's restaurants. We no longer have one here, unfortunately. I first had this back in the 70's. Don't leave out the A-1 (it makes a difference) and DON'T sweeten the whipped cream!

Recipe by Mathew Metcalfe - Adapted for North American measurements. It's a complex dessert with a serious wow factor, many elements could be used on their own in various ways to dress up other desserts.
