Add in heavy cream, seasoning to taste. Add in a dash of cayenne, tabasco and the lemon wedge (easy on the spices; Nantua sauce shouldn't be spicy warm). Let simmer for five more min. Retrieve lemon. Blend sauce in high-spped blender till smooth and creamy. Heat saute/fry pan on medium to high heat. Drop in butter, then add quick succession: first lobster meat, then prawns, sauteeing each till rare, then add in mushrooms. Flame with cognac, add in the scallops and saute/fry for 2-3 min. Pour in the Nantua sauce, adding the bay shrimp, and bring to a short bowl. Fill in preheated vol au vents and serve with steamed vegetables.
