🔪 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the shell lengthwise.

3. Gently pull the lobster meat up and rest it on top of the shell (but keep it attached at the base).

4. Place tails on a baking dish.

2️⃣ Season

1. Mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Brush generously over the lobster meat.

3️⃣ Make the Stuffing

1. In a bowl, combine crab meat, mozzarella, Parmesan, mayo, Dijon, Old Bay, parsley, and breadcrumbs.

2. Mix gently until combined.

4️⃣ Stuff & Bake

1. Spoon the mixture on top of each lobster tail.

2. Sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

3. Bake for 12–15 minutes (depending on size).

5️⃣ Broil for Golden Top

🔥 Pro Tips

• Don’t overcook lobster — meat should be opaque and reach 140–145°F internal temp.

• If using frozen lobster tails, thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight.

• For extra richness, drizzle warm garlic butter before serving.

If you’d like, I can also give you a simpler version (no stuffing), an air fryer version, or a Cajun-style version.
