LAZY LOBSTER CASSEROLE WITH BUTTERY RITZ TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Put 6 ovenproof dishes on a sheet pan and set them aside.
• Add Ritz and oyster crackers to a food processor. Pulse until it becomes crumbs. I like some texture, so I don't pulse it completely. Pour into a bowl and add melted butter and parsley. Mix until completely combined, set aside.
• Heat butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add sherry and lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
• If using raw lobster meat, add meat and the juices to the pan cook until just until the lobster begins to firm up, about two to three minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide the lobster and butter mixture evenly between the dishes and top with a generous amount of cracker topping.
• (If using cooked lobster, add lobster to dishes and prepare butter mixture as directed, and pour over cooked lobster.)
• Put the baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the lobster is hot and the topping is golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges and more parsley.

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.

LOBSTER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring court bouillion, carrot and leek to a boil then let simmer. Cook lobster in simmering bouillion for 3 minutes then cool in a bowl of ice water. Remove from the water when cool. Dry off lobster and proceed to remove all the meat from the shell (reserve the body meat and shell for the stock). In a saucepan, combine 2 ounces of whole butter, the chopped vegetables, the chopped lobster shells, 1 bay leaf, and 1 sprig of thyme. Cook until vegetables are soft, cover with water, then simmer until desired flavor and vegetables are tender. Strain stock and reserve 4 ounces. In a clean sauce pan add reserved stock and Merlot, red wine vinegar and reduce until almost all liquid is gone. Cut remaining butter into cubes and slowly whip butter into reduced sauce over a low flame. When sauce is finished, season with salt, cayenne pepper, and drops of lemon juice. Continue to simmer sauce on low flame. Add blanched lobster meat and let sit for 4 to 6 minutes in sauce. Then place warm lobster pieces in bowl and drizzle sauce around lobster. Garnish with the softened vegetables and a dollop of caviar on top. Chopped chive and chive oil are an optional garnish.

GRANDMOTHER'S LOBSTER PIE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water and add the lobsters. When the water comes to a second boil, cook the lobsters for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the water and let cool. Crack the tails, knuckles and claws. Pick out the meat from the shells over a bowl to hold the juices. Reserve the tomalley. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and add the tomalley and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed snack crackers. Add enough reserved lobster juice so the mixture is thick like turkey stuffing. Divide lobster meat among 4 individual casserole dishes. Cover each dish with the cracker mixture, patting it on evenly. Bake until the top begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the dishes from the oven and garnish each with a parsley sprig and a lemon wedge.
