Stuffed Lobsters

Summer time is an amazing time of year and it is coming to an end (sadly). So to celebrate this time of warmth, relaxation, and most of all good seafood. In the summer I love having clams, muscles, shrimp, and most of all lobster. Lobster is my all time favorite shellfish. It is good by itself, in a lobster salad, as lobster rolls, in mac and cheese, and especially stuffed. This is a buttery and a great way to eat your lobster without losing its delicious flavor. I hope you enjoy this guiltily pleasure before the summer is over because this isn't worth waiting a year for.

Ingredients:
2-3 cloves garlic
1/2 onion
1 1/2 pounds (1 per person)
2 sleeves ritz crackers
1/3 cup olive oil
3 strips bacon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

First cook the lobsters in a big pot of boiling hot water. Then add the lobsters to the pot and let them cook for about 7 minutes.

After you drained the lobster take off the head and cut in half. Then scrape out all of the insides to make room for the stuffing. Detach the claws and crack open for easy eating. Also take off the legs and use a rolling pin to get the meat out so that it can be used in the stuffing.

Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy and then remove. In the pan with the bacon grease cook the onions until translucent.  In the food processor add the ritz crackers, crispy bacon, salt, pepper, cooked onion, leg meat from the lobster, and olive oil.

Remove from food processor and put into a bowl.

Lay the lobsters on the baking tray and start to stuff the lobster with the filling.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until the filling in golden brown.

Squeeze a little lemon juice on top and dip the claws in some melted butter and enjoy this amazing dish!
