  • 2 tablespoon brandy
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

  3. Pour the brandy into the sauté pan and light it, carefully. Flambé the brandy and then add the cream. Cook until the mixture is dry.
  4. Gently peel back the leaves of the pumpkin flowers. Spoon the lobster mixture into the flowers. Pull the leaves back over the mixture.
