1:
Drop frozen lobster tails into boiling salted water. Return to boiling and simmer 3 minutes.

Dice half of the meat and cut remainder into chunks; set aside. Heat butter in a heavy saucepan; stir in flour. Cook until bubbly. Add broth gradually while blending thoroughly.
Stirring constantly, bring rapidly to boiling and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately blend about 3 tablespoonfuls into egg yolks and stir into the hot sauce. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

and almonds.
