- Whisk in cream, milk, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper; bring to boil, whisking often.

- Whisk in lobster, half of the Gruyere cheese, the lemon juice and sherry; cook, stirring often, until lobster is heated through.
- Scrape into two-cup baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese and broil until golden and bubbly, about four minutes.

Old bay chips:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Slice the potatoes into a bowl and immediately toss them with the oil. Season with Old Bay and salt and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Season again lightly with Old Bay, salt and pepper when they come out of the oven.
- Transfer to a rack to cool for maximum crispness. Enjoy!
