INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lobsters, split along the center top
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 15 buttery round crackers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup jumbo lump crabmeat
  • 1/4 cup clarified butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift the meat to rest above the
  3. shells. Place the prepared lobster on a baking sheet.
  4. Brush each portion of lobster meat with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
  5. Lightly mix the crushed crackers, crabmeat, 1/4 cup of clarified butter, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  6. Spoon half the stuffing onto each lobster; press lightly to slightly shape the stuffing so it doesn’t fall off.
  7. Bake the lobster in the preheated oven until the 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 should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
