Baked Crabmeat Stuffed Maine Lobster Recipe
Lobster, lobster, in the pot, who's the fanciest one of the lot? It's gotta be the Baked Crabmeat Stuffed Maine Lobster! This recipe is a guaranteed showstopper that'll make you the envy of every foodie in the room.
Ingredients:
- 2 Maine lobsters, about 1.5 pounds each (or bigger if you're feeling extra fancy)
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat (the more, the merrier)
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (unseasoned breadcrumbs need not apply)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (if it's not freshly grated, it's a faux pas)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (low-fat, no thanks)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (dried parsley is a no-go, baby)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (don't even think about using dried chives)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (the real stuff, please)
- Salt and pepper (to taste, of course)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Put on your fanciest apron and let's get cooking!
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and let them do their thing for 8-10 minutes, until their shells turn a bright, beautiful red.
-
Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, get your crabmeat ready to party.
-
Use kitchen scissors to cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise. You're basically giving them a haircut, but much more delicious.
-
Remove the meat from the shells and set it aside. Be gentle, these lobsters deserve the royal treatment.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up like it's your own personal dance party.
-
Stuff the lobster shells with the crabmeat mixture, filling them to the tippity-top. Get generous, go wild!
-
Place the stuffed lobster shells on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the stuffing is heated through. This is the moment we've all been waiting for.
-
Serve the Baked Crabmeat Stuffed Maine Lobster with the reserved lobster meat on the side. And don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back - you just made a masterpiece!
There you have it, folks! Your very own Baked Crabmeat Stuffed Maine Lobster, complete with all the fancy-pants trimmings. Enjoy!
