Lobster Stuffed With Crab Imperial Recipes

CRAB-STUFFED LOBSTER TAIL

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).

BAKED STUFFED LOBSTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a little water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Cut open the lobster by inserting your knife just underneath the head and the cutting down, splitting the belly (body and tail). Remove the "inners" (heart, guts, etc., but not meat). Steam the lobster for 7 to 10 minutes and then remove from the pot.
• Stuff the Seafood Stuffing in the lobster's opening and top with the crabmeat.
• Place the stuffed lobster, belly-side-up in a roasting pan. Add the lemon juice and a little water to the bottom of the pan to keep the lobster moist while cooking. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or just until the claws begin to split. Do not allow the lobster to dry out.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and then add all the seafood and saute until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Mix in the crackers, and add lemon juice, wine, and salt and pepper, to taste.

• Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tails curl and stuffing is lightly browned.
• Serve immediately.
