FEATURED RECIPE
Baked Stuffed Lobster Tails
Ingredients
- 4 8-ounce lobster tails
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup fresh tarragon leaves, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
- 3 quarts water
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 onion, cut into eighths
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 large potatoes, halved, crosswise
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Instructions
Blend together the butter, tarragon, lemon juice, bread crumbs, shallots and pine nuts in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pot, combine the water, salt, onion and bay leaf. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5 minutes. Cut a crosswise slit at each end of the underside of each lobster tail. Cut 2 lengthwise slits down the underside from one crosswise slit to the other to remove only a rectangular piece of the under section of each lobster tail. Spread 1/4 of the stuffing down the tail. Arrange the lobsters in a baking dish and use the potato wedges, one up against each side of the tail, to keep the tail from rolling over. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until stuffing is crisp and browned. Discard the potatoes and serve immediately. Serves 4
