Description

This Gourmet Baked Stuffed Lobster Tails recipe features succulent lobster meat topped with a flavorful breadcrumb stuffing blended with butter, Parmesan, garlic, and herbs. Baked to golden perfection, this elegant seafood dish is perfect for special occasions or a luxurious dinner at home.

Ingredients

Lobster Tails

  • 4 lobster tails (5-6 oz each)

Stuffing Mixture

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, carefully cut down the top of the lobster tails to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat upwards and rest it on top of the shell, ensuring it remains attached at the base for presentation.
  2. Make the Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and the mixture is well blended.
  3. Stuff the Lobster Tails: Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously over the lobster meat, lightly packing it in to form an even layer. If using, sprinkle a pinch of Old Bay seasoning on top for an extra burst of flavor.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the stuffed lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Plate the stuffed lobster tails and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve alongside your preferred vegetables or rice for a complete, luxurious meal.

Notes

  • Be cautious when cutting lobster shells to avoid injury.
  • The stuffed mixture can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated until baking.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the stuffing mix.
  • Serve immediately after baking to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
  • Old Bay seasoning is optional but highly recommended for authentic seafood flavor.
