Baked Lobster With Garlic Butter Panko Food

LOBSTER IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove claws and legs from lobster and place in a deep heatproof dish. Remove the tail and slice into small pieces, then add them to the dish.
• Pour garlic and 1/4 cup oil over the lobster. Cover and place on a steaming rack, then steam, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 cup oil to 120 degrees F.
• Remove lobster from steamer. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top, then pour over the hot oil and soy sauce.

LOBSTER WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with a large shallow baking pan in upper third.
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with butter and parsley.
• Plunge lobsters headfirst into a large pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) and cook, covered, 3 minutes from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a plate and let stand 5 minutes. (Lobsters will not be fully cooked.)
• Lightly crack claws, then split lobsters lengthwise and discard innards from body cavity.
• Remove tail meat from 1 lobster and cut crosswise into 8 pieces. Spread about 2 tablespoons garlic butter in one empty half shell, then fill that shell with all of sliced lobster and dot with 1 tablespoon garlic butter. Spoon about 5 tablespoons garlic butter into other empty half shell (for dipping). Repeat with remaining lobster.

BAKED LOBSTER TAILS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the lobster tails straight down the middle using kitchen shears. Butterfly the lobster meat by pulling it through the opening and laying the meat on top of the shell. Rinse tails under water; place in an oven-safe baking dish.
• Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.
• Season lobster tails with seafood seasoning and pour melted butter mixture on top until each tail is completely covered. Squeeze lemon juice over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until shells are bright red and meat is opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C).

BAKED FRESH LOBSTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Plunge the tip of a sharp knife straight down just behind the lobster's eyes to humanely kill the animal.
• Place the lobster on its back and use a sharp knife to cut open the cavity. Remove the stomach and intestines, and discard. Reserve the tomalley in a small bowl. Mix the cracker crumbs with the tomalley and spoon the mixture into the body cavity. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of butter over the top. Place the lobster in a 2 inch deep baking dish.
• Bake the lobster for 30 minutes, uncovered. Set oven to Broil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes just to toast the crackers before serving. Serve with remaining melted butter.
