Notes

For the best results, let your filet mignon come to room temperature before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For a richer flavor, try using homemade lobster stock. Stir continuously when making the sauce to avoid lumps, and ensure your shrimp is not overcooked; it should be just tender and opaque.
