Notes

Here are some simple tips to help you get the best results:
 
  • Use Fresh or Frozen Lobster Meat: Tail or claw meat works great.
  • Avoid Overcooking the Lobster: It gets rubbery fast.
  • Use Good Butter: It adds more flavor.
  • Season Gently: Lobster tastes best with light seasoning.
  • Don’t Skip the Topping: It adds a nice crunch.
  • Use Crushed Buttery Crackers: Ritz crackers give the best flavor and crunch.
