Stuffed Lobster Tails

Stuffed Lobster Tails are a classic New England dish served at many restaurants. Lobster meat, combined with cracker crumbs and seasonings, stuffed back into the lobster tails and baked.

Christmas is over and we’re getting ready for the New Year. I thought these delicious stuffed lobster tails would be perfect for our New Year’s Eve dinner menu! Follow the simple instructions below to make these for your sweetie this New Year’s or Valentine’s day!

How to cook lobster tails in the oven:

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the live lobsters for 5 minutes. Then, remove from the hot water and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.

Step 2: Clean and pick the meat from the claws, knuckles and body. Chop this lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Use kitchen sheers or a sharp knife to cut off the tails. Rinse the lobster meat if needed with cold water. Cut the lobster meat into small chunks.

Step 3: Keeping the shells intact, remove the tail meat from the shell.

Step 4: In a mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, celery, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the lobster meat and stir with a spoon to combine.

Step 5: Place the lobster shells on a half sheet pan and pack the lobster stuffing into each tail.

Step 6: Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for about 20 minutes, or until the stuffing is browned and lobster is cooked. Serve immediately with asparagus, other seasonal vegetables, melted butter and lemon wedges.
