Lazy Lobster Casserole with Buttery Ritz Topping - a New England classic. Lobster in garlic butter sauce topped with crunchy cracker topping.

Provided by bakedbree

Categories     seafood

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

35 Ritz crackers
2 cups Oyster Crackers (Westminster is my preferred brand)
4 Tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup parsley, chopped
½ cup butter
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup sherry
Juice from one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
24 oz. lobster meat (I used claws and knuckles)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Put 6 ovenproof dishes on a sheet pan and set them aside.
  • Add Ritz and oyster crackers to a food processor. Pulse until it becomes crumbs. I like some texture, so I don't pulse it completely. Pour into a bowl and add melted butter and parsley. Mix until completely combined, set aside.
  • Heat butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add sherry and lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • If using raw lobster meat, add meat and the juices to the pan cook until just until the lobster begins to firm up, about two to three minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide the lobster and butter mixture evenly between the dishes and top with a generous amount of cracker topping.
  • (If using cooked lobster, add lobster to dishes and prepare butter mixture as directed, and pour over cooked lobster.)
  • Put the baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the lobster is hot and the topping is golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges and more parsley.

LAZY MAN'S LOBSTER CASSEROLE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Lazy Man's Lobster Casserole Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by ktolar

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cooked lobster chunks
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups light cream, or half and half
1/4 cup dry sherry, or white wine
2 cups baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
1 shallot, diced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 cups buttery crackers finely crumbled (Ritz crackers or alternative)

Steps:

  • Lightly saute mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in olive oil. Stir in lobster and sherry. Set aside to be able to use the same pan for stuffing preparation. Melt butter and combine crumbled crackers and parsley. Set aside 1/2 of the stuffing mixture. Add lobster mixture to remaining stuffing in pan. Combine well. Slowly stir in cream. Pour into casserole dish and top with the remaining stuffing. Bake 10-15 minutes in a preheated 325°F oven or until topping is lightly browned. Serving suggestion: As an added bonus, while the casserole is baking, saute extra lobster claw meat to use with lemon as a garnish on top of the cooked casserole. And, for a very casual presentation, bake the recipe in a non-stick oven-proof frying pan, using that as your serving dish at the table. Since this recipe is a very rich version of Lazy Mans Lobster, it is best served with a light side dish of a green garden salad or a summer fruit salad.

THE BEST LOBSTER CASSEROLE



The Best Lobster Casserole image

I've had people say this is the best lobster dish they ever ate. I played around with this recipe because this is similar to the way my Mom used to make it, but she didn't go by recipes. Living near New Bedford and having the luxury of all the fresh seafood markets available, I usually buy my lobsters live and cook them at home and pick them myself. The biggest one I ever cooked was 10 1/2 pounds. This recipe calls for the tomalley, the green stuff in the head, not absolutely neccesary but it adds a nice flavor to the topping. If you have access to a fish market that has fresh lobsters and ask the fish monger to save you some of the tomalley it will make a difference. I didn't include a measurement for the tomalley because it depends on what you get from the lobster. If you have the fish market cook the lobster, tell them not to over cook it because the meat will cook again. My last 8 1/2 pounder I only boiled for 30 minutes, no more. You will need a batch of Hailey's Favorite Cheese Sauce, recipe #364959 for this. I usually do individual casserole dishes for everyone but you could easily do this in a bigger dish, your choice. The cook or prep time does not include cooking the lobster or picking the lobster or the cheese sauce time. I've also used this recipe with scallops.
