Dublin lawyer is the rich Irish seafood dish utilising fresh lobster, cream, whiskey and sometimes mushrooms.

It dates back many hundreds of years to a time when lobster was more plentiful and less expensive than it is today.

The dish can be made with fresh or pre-cooked lobster meat. I have made successful facsimiles of this dish using prawns and crayfish tails.

Method

  1. Mix the butter, paprika and mustard powder together.
  2. Heat the butter in a large frying pan.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes until they take a little colour.

Serve over plain boiled rice, or a mixture of plain boiled rice and wild rice.

Serve in the halved lobster shell if you have it.
