Deviled Lobster

Put three minced shallots in a stewpan with two ounces of butter and the brown
meat of the crab; fry until the shallots are lightly browned, then pour in half a pint
of milk, add half a tablespoonful of chutney, and season with salt, pepper and a small
quantity of cayenne. Stir the whole over the fire until it is thick, then put in the
lobster chopped. Have a metal table shell, fill it with the lobster mixture, strew a
layer of grated breadcrumbs over the top, baste with three tablespoonfuls of warmed
butter and brown in the oven. When done place the shell in the middle of the dish
and garnish with parsley.
