NEW YORK'S SEAFOOD COUNCIL: LOBSTER RECIPES

Baked Stuffed Lobster
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Method

4

Lobsters, live (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pounds each)

Boil live lobsters for 8 to 10 minutes. Lobsters should not be fully cooked at this stage of preparation because they will finish cooking in the oven. Remove lobsters from the boiling water and immediately place them in cold water for several minutes to stop cooking. When the lobsters are cool enough to handle comfortably, split each lobster lengthwise and remove the green tomally and red and pink coral.
Preheat oven to 400° F. Make a stuffing by mixing bread crumbs, margarine, onion and garlic together. (You can get creative with this basic stuffing mixture and add other ingredients such as herbs like parsley or tarragon or grated Parmesan cheese to customize this recipe to your own personal taste.) Place stuffing in the body cavities and spread over the tail meat.
Place the lobsters in a shallow baking pan, stuffing side up and bake for 15-20 minutes (until golden brown).
Preparation Time: 40-45 minutes

3 cups

Bread crumbs, soft

4 tbsp.

Margarine, melted lite

2 tbsp.

Onions, grated

1

Garlic clove
