Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lobster for about 10-12 minutes until it turns bright red. Remove and let cool. 2. Once cooled, remove the lobster meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces. 3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the shallot until softened. 4. Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half. 5. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. 6. Add the chopped lobster meat to the sauce, mixing well to coat. 7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 8. Transfer the lobster mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle with Gruyère cheese, and place it in the oven. 9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. 10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
