Lobster Tails with Crab Stuffing

Ingredients List

• 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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and gather all the ingredients you'll need for the recipe.

Carefully pull apart the lobster shell and lift the tail meat to sit above the shells. Arrange the tails on a baking sheet and brush the meat with melted butter.

In a bowl, gently combine the crabmeat, clarified butter, crushed crackers, parsley, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Spoon half of the crab mixture into each lobster tail, pressing it lightly to ensure it stays in place.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the lobster meat becomes opaque and the stuffing turns golden brown on top. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the thickest part of the lobster tail reaches 145°F (65°C).
