Crab Stuffed Lobster

Crab Stuffed Lobster

"Grilled lobster tails stuffed with celery, green onion, and crabmeat
seasoned with cayenne pepper and dry mustard. Delicious served with
warm garlic lemon butter."
INGREDIENTS:
4 (6 ounce) shelled raw lobster
tails
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced celery
1 green onion, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose
flour

1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup cold milk
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat,
drained and flaked
2 tablespoons dry bread
crumbs
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat grill for medium heat.
2. Butterfly the lobster tails by carefully cutting a slit down the
top side, without cutting all the way through to the bottom. Flip the
tail over, and carefully cut the shiny membrane without cutting the
meat on the underside. This will prevent the tails from curling as
they cook. Set tails aside.
3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook and stir the
celery and green onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, dry
mustard, and cayenne pepper. Using a wire whisk, mix in cold milk
slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue
cooking, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir in crab meat and bread crumbs. Spoon crab mixture into lobster tails.
4. Arrange tails on the preheated grill, and close the lid. Cook for
12 minutes, or until lobster meat is opaque and the crab mixture is
heated through.
