Lobster

Method

Prepare the Lobster

  1. 1

    Boil the Lobster

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add sea salt. Place the live lobster in the pot and boil for 10-12 minutes until it turns bright red. Remove from water and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Cut the Lobster

    Once cooled, place the lobster on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the lobster down the middle, lengthwise, to create two halves.

Prepare the Stuffing

  1. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the blue crab meat, shrimp, scallops, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  2. 4

    Stuff the Lobster

    Spoon the stuffing mixture generously into each half of the lobster shell, pressing down lightly to pack it in.

Bake the Lobster

  1. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed lobster halves on a baking sheet and dot with butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the stuffing is golden and the lobster meat is heated through.

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    While the lobster is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus, carrots, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plating

    Once the lobster is done baking, remove from the oven. Serve the lobster halves alongside the sautéed vegetables on a large platter.
