Directions

*

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

*

Place a little water in a large pot and bring to a boil.

*

Cut open the lobster by inserting your knife just underneath the
head and the cutting down, splitting the belly (body and tail).
Remove the "inners" (heart, guts, etc., but not meat). Steam the
lobster for 7 to 10 minutes and then remove from the pot.

*

Stuff the Seafood Stuffing in the
lobster's opening and top with the crabmeat.

*

Place the stuffed lobster, belly-side-up in a roasting pan. Add the
lemon juice and a little water to the bottom of the pan to keep the
lobster moist while cooking. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or just until the
claws begin to split. Do not allow the lobster to dry out.

*

Seafood Stuffing:

*

In a medium saucepan over
medium heat, melt butter and
then add all the seafood and saute until tender, about 3 to 5
minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

*

Mix in the crackers, and add lemon juice, wine and salt
and pepper, to taste.
