Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 ounces cooked Maine lobster
4 ounces cooked blue crab meat
2 slices sweet bread
1/2 ounce whipped mayonnaise
2 slices American cheese
1 ounce shredded cabbage, plus for garnish
1 ounce diced tomato
1/2 ounce Lemon Beurre Blanc, recipe follows
1/2 ounce shredded cheese mix
1/2 ounce Lava Sauce, recipe follows
Paprika, for garnish
6 ounces shoestring fries, for serving
2 shallots, finely chopped
8 ounces white wine
2 ounces lemon juice
1 tablespoon heavy cream
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Salt and white pepper
4 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sambal
1 cup sweet Thai chile sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the lobster and crab meat.
  • Spread the bread slices evenly with mayonnaise and toast on a flattop grill. Repeat on reverse side.
  • Add the American cheese, lobster, crab meat, cabbage, tomato, Lemon Beurre Blanc and shredded cheese to one of the slices and form a sandwich. Toast until the cheese is melted.
  • To serve, cut the sandwich into four squares and place the exposed ends on top of fanned out cabbage. Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle Lava Sauce diagonally across the top of the sandwich. Sprinkle paprika across the entire plate. Serve with shoestring fries.
  • Combine the shallots, white wine and lemon juice in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons.
  • Add the cream to the reduction. Once the liquid bubbles, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, one cube at a time, whisking first on the heat and then off the heat. Continue whisking butter into the reduction until the mixture is fully emulsified and has reached a rich sauce consistency. Season with salt and white pepper. Store beurre blanc in a thermos until ready to serve.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, sambal, chile sauce and lemon juice in a bowl until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lobster tails, split along the center top
2 teaspoons butter, melted
15 buttery round crackers, crushed
½ cup jumbo lump crabmeat
¼ cup clarified butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift the tail meat to rest above the shells. Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet.
  • Brush each portion of 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. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).

You don't need to go to a restaurant to enjoy stuffed lobster. This easy recipe bakes a flavorful cracker crumb stuffing in a split lobster.

Provided by Peggy Trowbridge Filippone

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 42m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pounds) lobster , live
1 cup cracker crumbs (buttery crackers such as Ritz or Club, crushed)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons minced sweet onion
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
Dash of salt, or to taste
Dash of sweet Hungarian paprika

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • To instantly kill the lobster , place the lobster flat on a cutting board and plunge the tip of a sharp knife straight down just behind the lobster's eyes to cut the spinal cord. (Alternatively, you can freeze the lobster for 30 to 60 minutes.)
  • Flip the lobster over on its back. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears , cut the lobster's body cavity open all the way down to the end of the tail but not all the way through.
  • Remove and reserve the tomalley (yellowish-green colored liver).
  • Remove the stomach and intestines, being careful not to rupture them, and discard.
  • Rinse the lobster cavity and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, celery, onion, 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and salt to taste.
  • Add the tomalley from the lobster and mix gently.
  • Pack the cracker mixture into the lobster's body cavity.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and dust lightly with paprika.
  • Bake the stuffed lobster in an uncovered 2-inch-deep baking pan for 30 minutes. If needed, place under the broiler and broil for another 2 minutes to brown the stuffing. Serve the stuffed lobster immediately with melted butter on the side, if desired.
