Method

Preparation

1

Prepare Lobster Tail

Boil or steam the lobster tails for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and slice them open to expose the meat.

2

Stuff the Shrimp

In a bowl, mix crab meat, cream cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Take each shrimp and carefully stuff it with this mixture. Then dip the stuffed shrimp in beaten egg and coat with bread crumbs.

3

Fry the Stuffed Shrimp

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the stuffed shrimp until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Cook Crab Legs

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add crab legs and boil for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Drain and set aside.

5

Serve

Arrange the lobster tail, fried stuffed shrimp, and crab legs on a platter. Melt butter and drizzle over the seafood. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
