½ tsp sugar
½ tsp old bay
1 tsp finely chopped Italian parsley (optional)
1 tsp finely chopped red pepper or roasted red pepper (optional)
1 large egg lightly beaten

  • Melt butter
  • Split lobster tail down the middle, being careful not to completely split the lobster
  • Pull the lobster meat out of the shell, leaving the end flap inside the shell.
  • Fan the tail and bend it upwards till you hear a little snap, this will help keep the fanned tail in place.
  • Push both sections of the shell together and place the split lobster on top of the shell.
  • Spoon some of the butter over top of the lobster, place in a baking pan and into 350 degree oven.
  • Allow lobster to bake for 5 minutes so that the area you are stuffing will get partially cooked.
  • Remove lobster from oven after the partial cooking and dividing the crab imperial mixture into two portions, stuff the top of the lobster tail, making a mound with the crab imperial.
  • Return lobster to the oven and continue baking for 15-20 minutes until topping has a nice golden color.
  • Remove Stuffed Lobster from the oven and spoon just a little bit more of the butter on the stuffed lobster.
  • Serve with your favorite side dish, and after presenting the dish to the table, gently remove the stuffed lobster completely from the shell and return to the plate.

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!

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings; 1 cup sauce

Number Of Ingredients 18

Six 6-ounce lobster tails
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dry sherry, optional
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1 large egg
15 round buttery crackers, crushed
8 ounces lump crabmeat
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
4 large pasteurized egg yolks
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

LOBSTER STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT



LOBSTER STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT image

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large live lobster, about 2 to 3 pounds
1 cup crushed round butter crackers, about 15 crackers (recommended: Ritz)
1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons clarified butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

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, high-quality seafood. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Lobster and crabmeat are both delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the lobsters. You want them to be full, but not so full that they burst.
  • Serve the lobsters immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their best.

Conclusion:

Lobster stuffed with crabmeat is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and effort. If you are looking for a dish that will impress your guests, this is the one for you.
