Baked Stuffed Lobster Preparation Time: Approx. 60 minutes
Servings: Dinner for Two
Ingredients
• 2 each, 2 lb. live lobsters
• 8 ounces of lobster meat, scallops, or crab meat
• 2/3 cup drawn butter
• 4 cups crushed Ritz Crackers
• salt and pepper if needed
Prepare the lobsters
for broiling and set aside. After
the lobsters have been prepared for broiling, slowly melt 1/2 lb. of butter
taking care not to let the butter boil. The clear portion of the melted
butter is the drawn butter. Slowly pour the drawn butter into a measuring
cup, measuring off 2/3 cups. In a food processor, grind enough Ritz Crackers
to make about 4 cups, (about 1/2 a box). Combine the crushed Ritz Crackers
with the drawn butter a little at a time until the crackers are liberally
and evenly coated. Fill the bottom of the lobster bodies and the lobster
tails with about 1/2 the amount of cracker mixture. Next, divide the seafood
into equal parts and fill the lobster body. Cover the lobster meat with
the remaining crumbs and place the lobster on a sheet pan along with the
claws. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the lobsters for approximately
30-40 minutes or until the tail meat becomes white and firm to the touch.
Serve at once with lemon wedges and drawn butter.
