Baked Stuffed Lobster
Preparation Time: Approx. 60 minutes
Servings: Dinner for Two

 

Ingredients

• 2 each, 2 lb. live lobsters
• 8 ounces of lobster meat, scallops, or crab meat
• 2/3 cup drawn butter
• 4 cups crushed Ritz Crackers
• salt and pepper if needed

 

Prepare the lobsters for broiling and set aside. After the lobsters have been prepared for broiling, slowly melt 1/2 lb. of butter taking care not to let the butter boil. The clear portion of the melted butter is the drawn butter. Slowly pour the drawn butter into a measuring cup, measuring off 2/3 cups. In a food processor, grind enough Ritz Crackers to make about 4 cups, (about 1/2 a box). Combine the crushed Ritz Crackers with the drawn butter a little at a time until the crackers are liberally and evenly coated. Fill the bottom of the lobster bodies and the lobster tails with about 1/2 the amount of cracker mixture. Next, divide the seafood into equal parts and fill the lobster body. Cover the lobster meat with the remaining crumbs and place the lobster on a sheet pan along with the claws. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the lobsters for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the tail meat becomes white and firm to the touch. Serve at once with lemon wedges and drawn butter.
