INGREDIENTS:
(4 servings)
1 stick unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
To taste, sea salt
To taste, freshly ground pepper
8 ounces fresh crab meat
8 ounces shrimp, coarsely chopped
8 sea scallops, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, juice only
1 bag herb seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup very dry sherry
4 each 1½ pound live
Maine Lobsters
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
DIRECTIONS:
Melt the one pound of butter in sauté pan over medium high heat and sauté shallots until tender. Add salt and pepper and seafood and sauté for one minute (do not overcook). Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice, stuffing mix, and sherry, stirring gently and thoroughly. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place live Maine Lobster on back on cutting
board, split Maine Lobster lengthwise being careful not to cut Maine Lobster
through back of shell. Remove and
discard tomalley (greenish lliver) and sac (stomach) of each Maine
Lobster and rinse cavity. Lay the Maine
Lobsters on their backs on a flat baking sheet.
Brush Maine Lobsters with some of the melted butter. Place stuffing in cavity of Maine Lobster,
mounding stuffing on tail as well. Brush
stuffed Maine Lobsters with a little more melted butter.
Bake for 15 minutes -- do not overcook. Place on platter; serve immediately with
butter and lemon wedges on side. Serve
with salad and your favorite bottle of wine or champagne. This is elegantly simple, and easy to
prepare, even for a novice.
