Gather up the ingredients for a lobster feast for two to four people:
- Two fresh four-pound Maine lobsters
- 10 15-count large fresh sea scallops
- Eight to 10 large raw shrimp, about ¼ pound (optional)
- 8-16 oz. Maine crab meat (16 oz. of not using shrimp)
- Two sticks unsalted butter
- One lemon
- Four shallots or 1 large red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Parsley 3 sprigs
- Sea salt
- Black pepper corn
- 1 sleeve Ritz Crackers
Baked Stuffed
Light a hooded charcoal grill to 350 degrees. Prepare the ingredients:
- Chop the shallots or onion into small pieces
- Chop up the 2 cloves of garlic and mince
- chop up the parsley
- Slice the scallops into ¼ chunks
- If using shrimp, peel and slice the shrimp into ¼ chunks
Prepare the lobster:
- Place the live lobster on a flat surface, stomach side down
- Kill the lobster by pushing a large chef’s knife into the brain
- Remove elastics from claws
- Using the knife, split the lobster all the way down the middle
- Remove the intestinal sac, brain, tomalley and roe with fingers or paper towel — do not use water to rinse the lobster as this will remove the juices
- Optionally you may save the roe and tomalley and add it to the stuffing
- Crack the claws with the handle of the knife
Let’s start grilling:
- Place a large iron skillet on the grill and melt 10 tablespoons of butter
- Add shallots (or onion) and garlic to the melted butter and cook until translucent
- Add chopped scallops (and shrimp) and allow to warm
- Add in the crab meat
- Add parsley and two tablespoons of lemon juice
- Add black pepper and salt to taste
- Break the Ritz Crackers with your fingers and stir into stuffing mixture
- Remove pan from grill when stuffing is warm (do not cook the stuffing)
- Place lobsters on a baking sheet and stuff the cavities with the stuffing — make sure to fill it nice and full but do not press too hard
- Place pans in middle of grill and spoon the stuffing with melted butter
- Close the hood and cook 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown
- Serve immediately with a side of melted butter and lemon wedge
