Description

This Gourmet Baked Stuffed Lobster Tails recipe offers an elegant and flavorful seafood dish featuring lobster meat topped with a rich mixture of garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and fresh herbs, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for special occasions or holiday dinners, it combines tender lobster with a crisp, cheesy topping served with fresh lemon wedges for added brightness.

Ingredients

Lobster Tails

  • 4 lobster tails (6–8 oz each)

Stuffing Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (panko or homemade)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail down to the tail fan. Gently lift the lobster meat through the cut and rest it on top of the shell, making sure it remains attached at the base. Place the prepared tails on a lined baking sheet for baking.
  2. Make the Stuffing Mixture: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, fresh breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to form the flavorful stuffing.
  3. Stuff the Lobster Tails: Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture evenly over the exposed lobster meat on each tail, pressing down gently to help it adhere and form a uniform topping layer.
  4. Bake the Lobster Tails: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and the topping turns golden and crisp. For added browning, broil the tails for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at the end of baking.
  5. Serve: Remove the lobster tails from the oven and let them rest briefly. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side to enhance the flavor with a citrusy brightness.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, drizzle additional melted butter over the stuffing before baking to enhance moisture and taste.
  • Serve these stuffed lobster tails alongside rice pilaf, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete, elegant meal.
