The Lobster Trap Feast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Seafood

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red. Remove and let cool. In the same pot, add shrimp, mussels, and clams, and cook for 5-7 minutes until shells open. Discard any that do not open.

2. 2

   Cook the Crab Cakes

   In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare Maple Bacon Scallops

   In a separate pan, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and reserve fat. Add scallops to the pan, sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add the crispy bacon back to the pan, and drizzle with maple syrup, cooking for an additional minute.

4. 4

   Cook Corn and Potatoes

   In a large pot, add new potatoes and corn on the cob. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Prepare the Baguette

   Slice the baguette into serving pieces. Optionally, toast them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up.

6. 6

   Plate and Serve

   On a large platter, arrange the lobsters, shrimp, mussels, clams, crab cakes, scallops, corn, new potatoes, and serve with slices of baguette.
