Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Rice

    Rinse the red rice under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of red rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Shrimp Scampi Topping

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink. Stir in lemon juice and lump crab meat, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of the lobster tails down the center to expose the meat. Place the tails on a baking tray, season with salt and pepper, and top with the shrimp scampi mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On each plate, serve a portion of the red rice, topped with the sautéed vegetables. Place a baked lobster tail on top and garnish with any remaining shrimp scampi topping. Enjoy your Twin Lobster Tails!
