Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
6 lobster tails (can use shrimp or crab or combination of the two instead of the lobster)
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
1 c. milk
1 c. (1/2 pt.) light creme
1 can (4 oz.) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tsp. paprika
Salt
1 c. crushed rye wafers or saltine crackers
1/4 c. chopped almonds (optional)

Directions:
Directions:
Cook frozen lobster tails by dropping into boiling salted water. When water boils, cook for 3 min. Drain and drench with cold water. Cut away underside membrane with scissors. Remove meat and dice. Reserve shells, or use artificial shells, for stuffing. If using shrimp or crab, cook similarly. Do not overcook as meat will be rubbery. Melt 1/4 c. of the butter. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk and cream. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until mixture bubbles and thickens. Fold in lobster meat, mushrooms, and paprika. Add salt to taste. Spoon mixture into shells. Mix rye crumbs, almonds, and remaining butter. Spoon crumb mixture over filled shells. Bake in preheated oven (400º for 15-20 minutes).

Ah...a decadent, lovely seafood bake. Can be served over noodles or rice instead of in shells, as noted above. Very similar to alfredo sauce. Yum!
