Maple Butter Lobster Casserole

Ingredients:
1 lb lobster meat, cut into 1-inch chunks 4 oz crab meat 2 stalks celery, diced or sliced 1 oz dry white wine 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers 3 tbsp butter 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

Cut the lobster meat into 1-inch chunks. I prefer to use lobster tails for added texture. Melt 1 1/2 tbsp butter in a frying pan on low heat. Add the celery and sauté until tender. Add the lobster meat and white wine to the pan. Heat for a few minutes, ensuring the meat changes color to a reddish pink if not previously cooked. Otherwise, just warm it up with the celery butter and wine. Remove the pan from the heat to prepare the cracker topping. In a bowl, grind up the sleeve of crackers and mix in the salt. Melt the remaining butter and add it to the crackers, mixing well. Gradually add sherry, a little at a time, until the mixture is moistened well. Add the crab meat and mix thoroughly. Transfer the lobster to a casserole dish, then top with the crab/cracker mixture. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. For variation, you can add shrimp and use half/half sherry with brandy.

Notes: This dish is perfect for a elegant gathering or a special dinner.

Lobster and Lemon Shortcut Recipe

Ingredients:
1 large lobster A big spoon Melted butter Lemon

Instructions:

Boil a large pot of water and have a big spoon ready in case the lobster tries to escape. Place the lobster in the boiling water. It takes about 10 to 12 minutes to cook a 2-pound lobster. Once done, remove the lobster and set it on a plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, carefully tear the tail and arms from the body. Remove the meat using lobster crackers or a hammer. This step might be necessary for easier access to the tender meat. Dip each bite of lobster into melted butter and give it a squirt of lemon. Enjoy with glee!

Notes: This dish is simple yet flavorful, ideal for a quick and delicious meal.
