Shirleys Lobster Pie For One Food

LOBSTER PIE

Steps:

• Break up cooked lobster meat.
• I like to have mine broken rather small, again, you be the judge.
• You can't really mess this recipe up.
• Lay the meat in the bottom of a glass pan, the lobster should cover the bottom of the pan.
• I have also made this in those individual little thingies you make onion soup in, this is nice if you are having company.
• Pour some melted butter on top of the lobster.
• Just enough to coat it a little.
• At this point is when I usually start to pick at the lobster, You know: One for the pan, one for me!
• TRY not to do this, it really is better if you have a nice amount of lobster at the bottom of the dish!
• Pour some Half& Half over the meat next.
• The milk should come just about half way up the meat, not cover it.
• Don't worry if you think you have poured too much, it will be okay.
• I did this once and looked like an idiot at the sink trying to pour out some milk while keeping the lobster in!
• It will all work out in the end, promise!
• Put in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.
• While this is cooking you can make the crust.
• Super easy.
• Just crush up the crackers, right in a frying pan.
• Use the back of a big spoon, as fine as you like em.
• I don't make mine super fine, just kinda crushed.
• Then add whats left of the stick of butter.
• You can add more if you think it is too dry.
• Throw in the garlic and parsley.
• Cook over low heat just to let the butter melt.
• Stir it all together so the crackers get nice and coated.
• Spread this evenly over the lobster.
• Push it down a bit so that it can absorb the liquid in the pie.
• Set back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
• Let it sit on the counter for a couple minutes, just to set up and cool a bit.
• And then enjoy!
• That was sure a lot of typing for such an easy recipe, but it is worth it.
• One of my favorie things to make and to eat!
