Lobster In Tomato & Herb Cream Sauce

• 2 lobster tails, approx. 1 1/2 lbs, cut into large bite-sized pieces
• Cream Sauce Base (cook in med saucepan):
• 5 lrg roma tomatoes, blanched, peeled & chopped
• 6 lrg garlic cloved, crushed
• 3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
• 3 lrg shallots, chopped fine
• 1 tbs fresh chopped parsley
• 2 tsp dried basil
• 2 tsp dried marjoram
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 dashes tabasco
• 3 tbs fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 c dry white cooking wine
• 1/4 c sherry
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 c bottled/filtered water
• (In skillet):
• Strained sauce base
• 4 tbs butter
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 c heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp prepared horseradish*
• 1-3 tsp arrowroot
• 4 bunches Japanese spinach
• dried bonita flakes
• sesame seeds
• soy sauce
• Rice: I recommend Japanese short-grain rice, jasmine or basmati.

1. Simmer all ingredients for the sause base on medium-low heat until reduced to 1/4 original volume. Strain remaining mixture and pour into skillet. Discard solids.
2. Pour reduced sauce base into skillet. Add butter, pepper, paprika and tabasco and stir until well blended & smooth. Add the whipping cream (and horseradish for a little extra zip)and stir over med heat until sauce is bubbly and thickens by half. Add arrowroot 1 tsp at a time only if sauce needs additional thickening. Correct seasoning as needed.
3. Gently fold in lobster pieces ONLY UNTIL pieces appear opaque in thickest part. Immediately remove from heat and serve with spinach and rice.
4. Spinach: Simmer spinach intact in bunches about 5 minutes. Drain well and pour several tbsp soy sauce over top. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and dried bonita flakes.
