BAKED STUFFED LOBSTER RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Wrap a rimmed baking sheet in heavy aluminum foil. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add diced shallot and sweat about 5 minutes. With a heavy knife, split live lobsters through their underside, by piercing their head and driving the knife through their body to the tail. Carefully crack open lobster over a bowl, reserve all liquids, tomalley(light green) and roe (dark green) Place onto foil wrapped baking sheet. Remove the brain, and carefully skewer the lobster through the tail towards the inner cavity. Add shrimp & scallops to the butter and season lightly with salt & pepper. Stir for 1 minute. As soon as shrimp begins to turn pink from grey, add all reserved liquid and solids from lobster. Using a spoon or spatula, stir seafood mixture, specifically crushing the dark green roe, which will turn a brilliant red. Continue to stir mixture about 2 minutes, till seafood is just about cooked. Turn your heat to high, remove pan from stove and add sherry....return to flame, heat and set on fire, to burn off excess alcohol. After flame goes out, add chopped parsley and simmer for 30 seconds, to slightly reduce the liquid in the pan. Turn off heat and add ground Ritz crumb till mixture tightens...depending on size of lobsters, may not use all of the crumb, or may need a little more. Stuffing should be fairly firm. Carefully divide stuffing between both lobsters, primarily filling cavity, but also covering the tail meat towards the tail. Bake 12 -15 minutes for a 1 pound lobster 15-17 minutes for a 1 1/4 pound lobster. Bake until the lobster is cooked through and the stuffing is crisp and golden. Lobster shell will be completely red in color, peek at back of lobster (on bottom of tray), traditionally the last part of the lobster to turn red in this recipe. If it is still dark or green back a little longer.

BAKED STUFFED LOBSTER TAILS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Start by 'butterflying' the lobster tails. With the hard side of the shell on the table, and starting on the wide end of the tail, cut the belly side of the shell, while also cutting half way through the meat, until just before the end of the tail.
• Using your hands, carefully spread the shell open, and gently pull the tail out, making sure to keep the meat attached to the shell towards the end of the tail. Rest the tail meat on top of the belly of the shell, with the end of the meat still attached to the shell. Carefully, using your fingers and a paper towel, remove the dark vein, if there is one. See notes for further explanation.

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Place the lobsters in a roasting pan and chill in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 1 layer of river rocksSmooth river rocks are available from your local landscape company. in the bottom of a wide 12-quart pot and fill with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Spread the herbs across the rocks, then quickly place the lobsters on top. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and place in ice bath to halt cooking.
• Lay paper towels across a cutting board. Bring one lobster to the board and, using your chef's knife, cut the lobster straight down the center, from head to tail. Remove tomalley (the green digestive gland) and discard. Remove legs and claws. Snip off the joint of each leg with kitchen shears. Using a rolling pin, roll over the legs to extract the meat. Roughly chop the meat. Repeat with second lobster
• Move the claws to a half sheet pan and roast for 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 10-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and stir to coat. Once onion is translucent, about 3 minutes, add the lemon zest and leg meat and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat, add the crackers, and toss until all the liquid has been absorbed.
• Make a dish out of aluminum foil, shaping it so that the lobster bodies can lay flat in it. Spoon the filling into the open body cavities. Brush tail meat with olive oil and place the foil dish with the bodies on the pan along with the claws. Roast until the filling browns and the tail meat becomes opaque, 12 to 16 minutes.
• Crack the claws and remove the meat. Serve on top of stuffed lobster with extra-virgin olive oil on the side for dipping.

• Start at the lobsters mouth and quickly slice down the middle of the body and tail.
• Use both hands to open the body and remove the stomach (located just behind the mouth parts) and the tomalley (the green liver type organ that will be very obvious).
• Prepare a stuffing of your choice.
• I like this simple one.
• Fill the body and tail of your lobster with the stuffing mix.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Melt 8 tablespoons butter in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft but not browned. Stir in the tarragon and parsley. If using raw shrimp or scallops, add them with the herbs and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. If using cooked lobster or crabmeat, remove the pan from the heat as soon as you stir in the herbs, let cool, and then add the lobster or crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper.
• With a cleaver or chef's knife, split the lobsters in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the head sac and intestine. Remove the tomalley and the roe if present and place in a small bowl. Break into small pieces using a fork. With the back side of a knife, crack the center of each claw on one side only. Season the lobsters lightly with salt and pepper. On a large roasting pan or baking sheet, place the halves together to resemble a butterfly.
• The tomalley and roe are optional for the stuffing. If you want to include them, mix them into the seafood mixture. Gently fold the crumbled crackers into the mixture. Divide the mixture evenly between 2 lobsters. If you are serving 1 lobster per person, spread the stuffing over the center so that the lobsters look whole again. Do not pack the stuffing tightly, or it will affect the even baking of the lobster. Brush the 3 tablespoons melted butter over the exposed meat tail, stuffing and claws. Bake until the lobster is cooked through and the studding is crisp and golden. Bake 17 minutes for a 1 1/2 pound lobster and 24 minutes for a 2-pound lobster.

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, Old Bay, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon parsley and 3/4 teaspoon tarragon in a large bowl. Fold in crabmeat; refrigerate until ready to use.

Gently pull the meat out and place on top of the shells. Arrange the lobster tails in a 9-inch-square glass baking dish. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake until starting to turn opaque, but not cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Combine panko, lemon zest, and the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 tablespoon parsley and 1/4 teaspoon tarragon in a small bowl; stir well to fully coat the panko.
• Mound about 1/4 cup of the crab mixture onto each partially cooked lobster tail, cupping gently with your hand to keep it in place. Sprinkle each with about 4 teaspoons of the panko mixture. Bake until the lobster is almost cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 130°F, about 8 minutes. Turn the oven to broil; broil until the lobster is fully cooked and opaque and the breadcrumbs are toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
