This stuffed lobster tail recipe features a buttery New England-style cracker and crabmeat stuffing. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and homemade dinner rolls for an exquisite but surprisingly simple meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lobster tails, split along the center top
- 2 teaspoons butter, melted
- ½ cup jumbo lump crabmeat
- ¼ cup clarified butter, at room temperature
- 15 buttery round crackers, crushed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift tail meat to rest above the shells. Place tails onto a baking sheet and brush meat with melted butter.
Step 3
Gently mix crabmeat, clarified butter, crushed crackers, parsley, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spoon 1/2 of the mixture into each tail; press gently to pack mixture so it doesn't fall off.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until 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).
