Best Lazy Mans Lobster Recipes

LAZY MAN'S LOBSTER CASSEROLE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Lightly saute mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in olive oil. Stir in lobster and sherry. Set aside to be able to use the same pan for stuffing preparation. Melt butter and combine crumbled crackers and parsley. Set aside 1/2 of the stuffing mixture. Add lobster mixture to remaining stuffing in pan. Combine well. Slowly stir in cream. Pour into casserole dish and top with the remaining stuffing. Bake 10-15 minutes in a preheated 325°F oven or until topping is lightly browned. Serving suggestion: As an added bonus, while the casserole is baking, saute extra lobster claw meat to use with lemon as a garnish on top of the cooked casserole. And, for a very casual presentation, bake the recipe in a non-stick oven-proof frying pan, using that as your serving dish at the table. Since this recipe is a very rich version of Lazy Mans Lobster, it is best served with a light side dish of a green garden salad or a summer fruit salad.

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on to boil. Salt heavily: 1/4 cup per gallon. When water reaches a rolling boil, add lobsters headfirst, put on the lid and bring back to a boil. Continue boiling with lid slightly ajar, 8 minutes for a 1 1/2 pounder or 10 minutes for a 2 pounder. The lobster will not be fully cooked: It will cook further upon reheating.
• Remove lobsters from pot with tongs, and let cool in the kitchen sink. When lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove tails and claws (with knuckles attached) with a twisting motion. (Reserve bodies for another purpose or freeze for future use.)
• Using lobster crackers or mallet and kitchen shears, crack shells and remove meat from tail, knuckles and claws. For presentation, try to keep claw meat intact. Use a paring knife drawn down the middle of the tail meat to remove intestinal vein; rinse meat briefly if necessary. If you wish, wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, or proceed immediately with rest of recipe.
• To finish, put half the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add room-temperature lobster meat and bring to a low simmer. Turn heat to low, put on lid and cook for 5 minutes. Add remaining butter, turn off heat and cover for 5 more minutes.
• To serve, divide lobster meat into two warmed shallow soup bowls. Spoon butter evenly over each serving. Sprinkle with parsley, chives, dill, tarragon and chervil. Serve with lemon wedges, and dust with black pepper.
