#5 - Baked Stuffed Lobster

Lobster is amazing and if you can get it at the right place, it isn't too expensive.  I went to a local grocery store that is not known for cheap prices and I got a lobster tail for $5.

This recipe is another easy way to pull off a really delicious, fancy meal.

Here is the recipe:

1 raw lobster tail

2 slices of toasted bread crumbs

1/2 cup vegetable broth (or water)

1 T. minced onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1/8 t. garlic powder

1/8 t. onion powder

paprika, salt and pepper to taste

Cut the raw lobster tail "hotdog-style."  Be careful not to cut yourself; lobster shells are easy to slip on. Wash the two halves of lobster tails, mindfully cleaning away the sand vein and any other green or strange colored substances.  (Note: if you accidentally forgot to wash out that stuff, it wouldn't hurt you)

Mix toast crumbs with garlic, onions and spices.  Stuff the lobster halves with the toast mixture.  (Make sure to get the mixture into all the nooks and cranies.

Pour vegetable broth over stuffed lobsters.  Dust with paprika.

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes.  Broil for the last 1-2 minutes to brown. 

Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve w/ lemon wedges, if you want.
