Ingredients
  

Buttery Ritz Topping

  • 35 Ritz crackers
  • 2 cups Oyster Crackers Westminster is my preferred brand
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped

Lobster:

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Add the crackers to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until it is coarse crumbs. I like some larger texture, so I don’t take it all the way. Pour out into a bowl.

  • Add butter and parsley, mix well. Set aside.

  • Let’s start on the lobster. Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sherry and lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

  • If cooking from raw, add the lobster and cook until the lobster begins to firm and change color. (If using steamed lobster, I skip this and just pour the sauce over the lobster meat.) Take off the heat. 
  • Divide the lobster evenly between the ramekins or dishes.

  • Bake in a preheated 350° oven and cook until the lobster is cooked through and the crumbs turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. 
  • Serve with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
