Crab-Stuffed Lobster Tail
Crab-Stuffed Lobster Tail
Ingredients
2 lobster tails, split along the
center top
2 teaspoons butter, melted
½ cup jumbo lump crabmeat
¼ cup clarified butter, at room
temperature
15 buttery round crackers, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
(such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground white
pepper, or to taste
Directions
Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven
to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Pull the edges of the split lobster shells
apart and gently lift tail meat to rest above the shells. Place tails onto a
baking sheet and brush meat with melted butter.
Gently mix crabmeat, clarified butter,
crushed crackers, parsley, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, garlic,
salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
Spoon 1/2 of the mixture into each tail;
press gently to pack mixture so it doesn't fall off.
Bake in the preheated oven until meat is
opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. An
instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail
should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
