Chop lobster meat from 2 lobsters very roughly, leaving 2 claws whole.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Add finely minced shallots and cook until soft, about a couple of minutes, ensuring they do not brown.

Add the chopped lobster meat and whole claws to the skillet and cook until heated through.

Pour in 1/4 cup of Scotch whiskey and let it vaporize for a few seconds before carefully igniting it.

Season the mixture with about an eighth of a teaspoon of Irish flaked salt, cayenne pepper, and a few grinds of black pepper.

Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and let it heat through until it starts to simmer, about a couple of minutes.

Plate the dish and taste, adjusting seasoning with flaked Irish sea salt if needed.
