Crab-Stuffed Lobster Tails with Blender Bearnaise Sauce

Ingredients

To get started, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 lobster tails
  • 1 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Blender Bearnaise Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Now, let’s dive into the steps to prepare this amazing dish:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully split the lobster tails down the middle, lengthwise, using sharp kitchen scissors. Pull the lobster meat slightly out to make room for the crab stuffing.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Stuff each lobster tail with the crab mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
  5. Place the stuffed lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown.
  6. While the lobster is baking, prepare the Blender Bearnaise Sauce. Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan and let it cool slightly.
  7. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until well combined.
  8. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the mixture is thick and creamy. Stir in the chopped tarragon and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Once the lobster tails are done baking, remove them from the oven and serve hot with the Bearnaise sauce drizzled over the top.
