1898 Shrimps a la Newburg Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking
This is a riff on a Lobster a la Newburg recipe found in the 1898 cookbook called 'The Twentieth Century Cook Book'. Lobster a la Newburg pops up in written books around the same time as Lobster Thermador recipes; and when you compare the two they start to become very muddled in terms of ingredients and methods. People will argue endlessly about which is which, and how to make them, but in practical terms they overlap so much it's hard to tell sometimes which is which.

Lobster a la Newburg Recipe:
Boil 1 large lobster; when done pick meat from shells, cut in 1 inch pieces, and season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Add butter the size of an egg. Let all simmer 5 minutes, then add 1 glass Madiera or sherry wine, with 1 teaspoonful sugar in it, and let boil 3 minutes. Beat the yolks of 3 eggs with 1 cupful sweet cream, add to mixture and boil 5 minutes longer. Serve very hot, in shells or chafing dish.
Shrimps a la Newburg.
Prepare as above.
