Kosher salt
Five 1-pound lobsters
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups crushed snack crackers
4 sprigs parsley, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality canned or frozen lobster: Look for lobster that is packed in natural juices or brine, without any added preservatives. Avoid products that are packed in oil or sauce, as this can alter the flavor of the lobster.
  • If using frozen lobster, thaw it properly: The best way to thaw frozen lobster is to place it in the refrigerator overnight. You can also thaw it by submerging it in cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not thaw lobster in the microwave, as this can cause it to become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables to create a casserole that is to your liking.
  • Make sure the sauce is cooked through: The sauce in this recipe is made with a roux, which is a mixture of butter and flour. It is important to cook the roux over medium heat until it is golden brown, as this will help to thicken the sauce and prevent it from becoming lumpy.
  • Don't overcook the lobster: Lobster is a delicate seafood that can easily become tough and rubbery if it is overcooked. Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Conclusion:

Mock lobster casserole is a delicious and affordable way to enjoy the flavors of lobster without the high price tag. This casserole is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you are a fan of seafood or not, you are sure to enjoy this creamy, flavorful casserole. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give mock lobster casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
