Make the Stuffing
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and celery, sautéing until softened, about 4-5 minutes. In a bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, sautéed vegetables, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the melted butter. The stuffing should be moist but not overly wet.

Bake the Lobsters
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed lobsters on a baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the stuffed lobsters. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the stuffing is golden brown and the lobster meat is fully cooked.
