Crab Stuffed Lobster Tails- New for Valentine's Day 2010!

There are few things in this world as good as a Crab Stuffed Lobster Tail.
I'm not talking about a tail that has had the meat removed, chopped, mixed into a stuffing and crammed back into the shell for presentation; I'm talking about a WHOLE Maine Lobster Tail, with additional crab stuffing on top waiting to be baked into golden deliciousness.
We finally started carrying just that, and more...Lobster Stuffed Lobster Tails.
Now, you already know how I feel about Lobster Stuffed Lobster...so needless to say, I'm really excited about this newest offering.
So excited in fact, I decided to get a four pack of crab stuffed lobster tails myself and prepared two of them over the weekend.
They were absolutely fantastic (as expected!).
I will be reordering these in the Lusting for Lobster Package for Valentine's Day.
Nothing says romance like Stuffed Lobster tails, Lobster Bisque and Creme Brulee Raspberry Cheesecake.
Especially if you can get it delivered in time for Valentine's Day for under $90.
And with that, I'll share the quick photos I snapped of these divine lobster tails.
Happy eating foodies!

Images from King Crab Stuffed Maine Lobster Tails

Yay! It's Friday! I just finished getting my images together from my last recipe adventure so it's time to share :)
It's also time to let everyone know that this is the LAST WEEKEND TO ENTER MY GIVE AWAY and have a crack at winning either and "O" Balsamic Vinegar Sampler set or an "O" Extra Virgin Olive Oil Sampler set. Interested in winning? Check out how to enter here.
I can't wait to see what the winning recipes will be and who will receive these great sampler sets. I used my Eureka Lemon Olive oil in the Stuffed Maine Tail recipe, I think the addition of the lemon really set off the spices in the King Crab cakes. Well foodies, I hope everyone out there has an awesome weekend and I'll be back early next week to announce our winners! Thanks to all of you who have already entered!

King Crab Cake Stuffed Lobster Tails

Good Thursday morning all! Hope everyone out there is having a great week. Last night I prepared King Crab Cake stuffed Maine Lobster Tails. The recipe could not be easier, and the final product was not only beautiful, but delicious. I actually adapted this recipe from one we have on Livelob.com substituting Live Maine lobsters with two of our big 12-14 oz tails, and 1/2 of the butter called for with Eureka Lemon Olive oil from my "O" sampler. I love the flavor of Butter and lemon over lobster so I figured it would be a great addition to the flavor. I was right, and I definitely recommend trying the same with your own favorite flavored oil whatever that may be! Well here is the video and the recipe, I will be back later today to share the step by step pictures!



Ingredients

• Two 12-14 oz Maine Lobster Tails
  
• One dozen Mini King Crab Cakes
  
• 1 Tbsp. clarified butter
  
• 1 Eureka Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

Fill a 12 qt. pot with enough water to cover the lobster tails without spilling over. Bring water to a rolling boil and add the lobster tails. Start your timer when the water returns to a full boil. Timer should be set for 6-7 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove the lobster tails from the cooking pot, and cool under cold running water.
Pre-heat oven to 350°. Using a pair of kitchen scissors, cut the lobster shell in half lengthwise. Do this by starting at the tail and cut through the bottom side all the way to the front. Flip the lobster tail over and repeat this on the top side.
After the lobster tails are halved, cut a 1/4” deep slit into the length of the tail meat. Lay each lobster tail half on a lightly oiled or foil covered baking sheet and press the mini king crab cakes into the slit in the meat and covering the exposed meat on top.
Place the butter and garlic in a saute, and heat until garlic becomes fragrant. Brush or spoon garlic butter/oil over the Mini King Crab cakes. Place the tray in the oven on the center rack, for approximately 10 minutes or until stuffing is golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes for crisper top!
