  4. Pour in heavy cream and stock, simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add lobster meat and frozen peas, stir, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Mix in fresh thyme, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and let cool for a minute.
  7. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, pour the filling into the crust.
  8. Unfold the second pie crust, cover the filling, crimp the edges, and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  11. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
