At one time Lobster Thermidor was all the rage in fancy dancy expensive restaurants around the country and for some reason it has mostly fallen out of favor-probably because of the costs of the ingredients.  But now…you can make it yourself and save tons of $$$. Yes, shrimp and crab are still expensive but not nearly what it would be in your favorite local eatery.  So, make this keto shrimp & crab thermidor a special meal on a Sunday and of course you can dazzle dinner guests with it.
