Caribbean Jerk Maine Lobster

INGREDIENTS:

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

1 green pepper

1 Bermuda onion

1 Tablespoon clarified butter, as needed

8 ounces Maine Lobster meat

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

6 ounces spiced rum

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

4 teaspoons corn starch

2 cups bread crumbs

1 each 1¼ lb. Maine lobster

1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, as needed

DIRECTIONS:

Dice vegetables fine; add clarified butter to skillet and sauté vegetables until translucent.  Add Maine Lobster meat, sugar, spiced rum and lemon juice until it starts to bubble.  Gradually add corn starch and water until it thickens to a smooth consistency.  Remove from heat and slowly add bread crumbs, until just moist.  Split live Maine Lobster by inserting knife between the body and tail segments, thus cutting the spinal cord, removing the intestines and sac just behind the head.  Crack the large claws.

Stuff the Maine Lobster with the jerk stuffing and top it off with butter and Parmesan cheese.  Add water to bottom of baking pan (just to cover the bottom); add Maine Lobster and place in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.  After cooked, remove and garnish.
