Lobster tails with a NE styled crab and cracker stuffing, serve with a bit of lemon and dinner rolls for a great meal.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 cup clarified butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning such as Old Bay
- 1 Crab (or 1/2 Cup Crab Meat)
- 2 Lobster Tails, split along the center on top.
- 15 buttery round crackers, crushed (Such as Ritz)
- 2 teaspoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart, gently lifting the tail meat to rest above the shells.
- Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet.
- Brush each tail meat with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
- Lightly mix the crushed crackers, crabmeat, 1/4 cup of clarified butter, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon half the stuffing onto each lobster tail; press lightly to slightly shape the stuffing so it doesn’t fall off.
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven until the meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
- A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail should read 145F.
