Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 ounces maine scallops (coarsely cut up)
4 ounces maine shrimp (coarsely cut up)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 small garlic clove (minced)
2 (1 1/4-1 1/2 lb) live maine lobsters

Steps:

  • In a food processor, grind the crackers into crumbs.
  • Combine the Worcestershire sauce and melted butter with the crumbs till mixed well.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese; mix well.
  • Saute the scallops and shrimp in a little butter and garlic (don't burn the garlic).
  • Remove from pan and toss lightly with cracker crumbs.
  • Turn each live lobster over and with a sharp knife, split lobsters from center top to bottom of tail fins on the stomach side (underneath), being careful not to split all the way through the back shell.
  • Clean out the body cavity by removing the tomalley (green stuff), the roe (pink stuff), the stomach sac, and the vein that runs the length of the lobster.
  • Rinse with cold water.
  • Use your finger to press the body open to expose the meat (which also should have been split with the knife).
  • Fill the cavity of each lobster with the stuffing.
  • Place in a foil-lined pan and bring the edges of the foil up over the tail of each lobster.
  • Press so that the foil holds the end of the tail to the pan so the tails do not curl up as they bake OR skip the foil and place a rock on each tail.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
