Method

Preparing the Lobsters

1

Cooking the Lobsters

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the live lobsters and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove lobsters and let them cool slightly.

2

Split the Lobsters

Once cool enough to handle, split the lobsters in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tail, keeping the shells intact for stuffing.

Preparing the Stuffing

3

Make the Crab Stuffing

In a mixing bowl, combine lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced garlic, chopped green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without breaking up the crab meat too much.

Stuffing and Cooking

4

Stuff the Lobsters

Spoon the crab stuffing evenly into the lobster shells, packing it gently to hold together.

5

Grill or Bake

Preheat the grill to medium heat or the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed lobsters on the grill or a baking dish in the oven. Grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the stuffing is heated through and golden brown.

Serving

6

Garnish and Serve

Remove the lobsters from the grill or oven. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
