CRAB-STUFFED LOBSTER TAILS WITH BLENDER BEARNAISE SAUCE
Nothing makes me feel more fancy than lobster, and these lobster tails-stuffed with a crab cake mix-are sensational. And, since I'm a self-proclaimed sauce girl, I like to serve my Blender Béarnaise sauce over the top. That's right-I've made homemade béarnaise sauce easier than ever, so if you've been shy about making it, you should give this method a try!

Steps:
- For the lobster: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the middle of the tops of the lobster shells with kitchen shears all the way down to the bottoms of the tails. (Be careful not to cut the lobster meat.) Carefully loosen the meat from the shells. Cut a slit lengthwise down the meat of each.
- Combine the butter and lemon zest in a bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning and egg. Fold in the crackers and crabmeat. Stuff the crab mixture into the slits in the lobster tails. Brush the crab and lobster with the melted butter.
- Place the lobster tails on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the lobster turns opaque and is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the crab stuffing is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the blender béarnaise sauce: Combine the wine, vinegar, shallot and 1 tablespoon of the tarragon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Place the egg yolks in a blender and add the cooled wine mixture. Purée for 30 seconds.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. With the blender running, pour the melted butter through the blender top, blending until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Remove from the blender and stir in the remaining tablespoon tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it stands.)
- Serve the béarnaise sauce with the lobster tails.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fill a large stockpot 3/4 full with salted water and bring to a boil. Plunge the lobster headfirst into the boiling water and cook, covered, until firm and almost cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer with tongs to a large bowl filled with ice water. Drain well. When the lobster is cool enough to handle, place it on a cutting board, back side down flat on its back. With a sharp knife, cut down through the middle of the lobster from head to tail, forming 2 identical halves. Lift out the pink coral and any green tomalley. Reserve for another use or discard. Remove the stomach sac from the back of the head, the black vein running from head to tail, and any spongy gray tissue. Discard. Place the 2 lobster halves on a baking sheet and set aside while you prepare the stuffing. In a mixing bowl combine the crushed crackers, crabmeat, 1/3 cup of the butter, the parsley, tarragon, thyme, lemon zest and juice and toss to combine. Adjust seasonings with salt and white pepper. Divide the stuffing evenly among the 2 lobster halves, filling the empty cavity and covering the tail with the remaining stuffing. Drizzle the 2 halves with the remaining butter, and bake the lobsters until the filling is golden brown on top and the lobsters are heated through and thoroughly cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes. (The temperature on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the lobster meat should register 145 degrees F.)
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a more delicate flavor and texture than canned or frozen crab meat.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all good choices for seasoning crab meat stuffing.
- Add some moisture. If the crab meat stuffing is too dry, add some moisture in the form of melted butter, milk, or cream.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make crab meat stuffing. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find your favorite recipe.
