Crab-Stuffed Lobster

Instructions

Dirty Rice

  • Rinse jasmine rice with water until water is clear. Drain.
  • In a large sauce pot add vegetable oil and bring to medium-high heat.
  • Add ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to pot and sauté for 5 minutes, until nicely browned.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove browned beef and set aside.
  • Add butter to pot, then add vegetables. Sauté for 2 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  • Add sofrito and jasmine rice to pot and sauté for 1 minute. Add cooked ground beef and chicken stock to pot and bring to a boil. Once the mixture boils, reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave lid on pot for 5 more minutes. Fluff rice with fork and season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.

Crab Stuffing

  • In a medium bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Old Bay® seasoning, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice until well incorporated.
  • Gently fold in crushed butter crackers and crab meat until well incorporated. Set aside.

Crab-Stuffed Lobster

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stir together melted butter, salt, and lemon juice. Brush lobster tail meat with butter mixture.
  • Divide crab stuffing into 8 portions. Stuff each lobster tail half with crab stuffing, pressing stuffing into lobster. Place stuffed lobster tails on aluminum foil-lined-sheet pan and place in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden-brown. Serve with hot dirty rice.
