Ingredients

• 2 pieces live lobsters (1 to 1.5 pounds each)
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumb (preferably panko)
• 0.5 cup crab meat, cooked and shredded
• 0.5 cup shrimp, cooked and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the lobsters by splitting them in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Remove the tomalley (green liver) and set aside for the stuffing (optional). Remove the stomach and intestines and discard.

Step 3

Using a lobster cracker or small mallet, crack the lobster claws slightly to allow them to cook evenly. Place the lobster halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the breadcrumbs, cooked crab meat, cooked shrimp, parsley, and tomalley (if using). Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice, white wine, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine, then remove from heat. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Brush the lobster meat with olive oil to keep it moist, and season it lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into the cavities of the lobster halves, pressing gently to pack it in.

Step 9

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and drizzle it over the stuffed lobster halves.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the lobsters from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve your Venus De Milo Baked Stuffed Lobster with lemon wedges and a crisp green salad or buttered vegetables on the side.
