Wash and dry lobster-tail shells and reserve.
Stir-fry lobster meat on low heat in 3 tablespoons melted butter until lobster turns white.
Sprinkle with lime juice, salt and pepper and scrape into a bowl.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the same pan and add the mushrooms.
Stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Add to the lobster.
Prepare a thick white sauce in the top of a double boiler and add dry mustard, onion juice and egg yolks mixed with rum.
Cook and stir 2 or 3 minutes.

Dilute if necessary.
Fill the lobster shells generously with the mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan and buttered crumbs.
